Just think of the family members and Veterans that he embarrassed with his web.  He probably road in a couple parades and is the Commander of his local Legion..

"According to court documents, Doyle Mullins, 71, spent more than 20 years claiming he was “totally and permanently blind.” As a result, since 1995, the VA paid him more than half a million dollars.  The payments came in lumps of thousands of dollars per month and included medical benefits payments for his wife and grants from the VA for a car and adaptive housing."

Ok, I can see the "adaptive housing" for being blind, but how does a blind guy get a car...?

How does this happen?   I have 80% disability for my eyes, and I had four different eye specialists, that wrote  "nexus letters" verifying it was service connected, which was documented in my SMR's.  I also had a C & P eye exam, that lasted over five hours, as they gave me every test available to verify my  eye injury.   They rated me 60%, then a few months later "CUED" themselves and gave me 80%.

Mullins told the VA he was unable to drive, work or perform household tasks, but he was observed by detectives driving, mowing his lawn, running errands, and banking.
