If an illness or injury got in the way of someone's life plans, and the issue isn't from poor life choices, just bad luck, they'll never truly be happy on benefits. Nobody in their right mind would want to be sick and stay home all day. I wish they would stop giving people like him disability, since he wouldn't be 'disabled' if he followed doctors' orders and ate less. If they cut off his benefits he would lose weight anyway, then the problem would be solved.
