I know and have known several of men like this they can hunt ,fish and do all kinds of fun things. But it is to painful to do any type of work.
I see you've met my step-sister's husband. Poor fellow. Can't work. Can ride horses, hunt, do carpentry, fish... but he's got a bad back, you know, so... happily he can sue people.
They couldn’t serve as an office receptionist?
At least in some states, the workman’s comp cheats know that they might get busted if they’re not very careful. Moving disability benefits to the federal level, making them effectively permanent and then doing nothing to police the system is just about the perfect recipe to attract fraud.

Sounds like a friend’s ex husband. I think he’s allergic to work. But come hunting/fishing season and softball season he’s out in the field.
Milking it like a baby calf.
About a year ago...I went back home to Alabama for a week. My brother took time out to identify the various locals on disability. He ran through about fifteen names. After a while, with questions, I came to realize that all of them carrying on various hobbies or part-time jobs where the disability business doesn’t affect them at all. There’s one local guy who has been disabled since his mid-20s (he started out in the late 1970s)...and still collects it today, while doing various part-time jobs on the side.
