And this is the first time he's seen him since? It doesn't make a huge amount of sense. But it is better than them getting the entire benefits situation wrong, at least.
He failed a work capability assessment..It's the whole premise of the bloody film!...

He wouldn't be having that if he wasn't on ESA would he?...
