Disabled & Trying to Work on Social Security in GEORGIA (ATL HELL) — My Real Experience With Vocational Rehab, The Lies, The Runarounds, and Why I’m Speaking Out

Let me just be real in this blog, because I’m tired of sugarcoating stuff for these agencies. If you are disabled, on Social Security, and actually TRYING to work like I am… You already know the struggle. It’s not easy. And programs like Vocational Rehab — especially the one here in Georgia — make it even harder.
I recently posted a video called “Disabled & Trying to WORK ON SOCIAL SECURITY / Vocational Rehab / COMPLAINTS / LIES ⚫️ Ticket 2 Work Job 🤔” because this situation pushed me over the edge.
I’ve dealt with the runarounds, the excuses, the broken promises, and the lack of communication. And after reading the reviews people left for the VR office in Tucker, Georgia… I knew I wasn’t alone.
These agencies are supposed to HELP us. They are government-funded. They partner with Social Security. They tell us they can help find jobs, offer training, support us through Ticket to Work — but what they say and what they DO are two totally different things.
The Same Complaints Over and Over Again
In my video, I went through REAL Google reviews from real disabled people. And guess what? All the complaints sound the same:
• They don’t call people back• Long wait times, months with no communication• Counselors switch constantly• Emails get ignored• Rude attitudes when you finally get someone on the phone• Hanging up on disabled clients• No job placement — NONE• Years of broken promises
People with serious disabilities — blindness, mobility issues, mental health conditions — are out here literally begging for help that the government CLAIMS they provide.
I had people in the comments saying they’ve been dealing with VR for YEARS and still haven’t gotten anything. Not a job. Not training. Not supported. Nothing. One reviewer even said the agency mistreats disabled employees from the inside. So imagine how they treat us.
This Isn’t Just “Bad Customer Service” — It’s A System Problem
Sadly, disabled people have to fight THIS hard just to get basic help. And then Social Security expects us to report everything, follow every rule, do everything right — but what about the programs THEY send us to?
How are we supposed to succeed when nobody is doing their job?
Why I Spoke Up
I’m forwarding this video straight to Social Security. They need to see what’s going on. They need to hear our stories. Because too many disabled people are sitting at home feeling hopeless, thinking it’s just THEM — but it’s not.
This is a real issue.
I’m a Black disabled woman on Social Security, trying to do the right thing, trying to work, trying to get better, trying to move forward… and yet here I am, dealing with the SAME runarounds everybody else is talking about.
And honestly? I’m NOT staying quiet about it.
My Brand, Afrinubi Solutions, Is About Speaking Up

Everything I do with Afrinubi Solutions — my YouTube videos, my blogs, my content — is about helping disabled people, giving real information, and telling the truth about these systems. I’m an advocate because I’ve lived through it.
This blog isn’t about bashing anybody. It’s about telling the truth. And the truth is: disabled people deserve better than this.
If you’re dealing with Vocational Rehab or Ticket to Work and going through the same thing, you’re not alone. Share your story. Speak up. Call them out. We deserve REAL support, not excuses.
