In response: If you knew why he is on Disability to begin with, or even read his posts in this thread, you'd UNDERSTAND, dipshit.

I read his posts and I didn't see anything that specified why exactly he couldn't work a normal job, but could work volunteer jobs; Just ambiguous feelings like "fatigue and pain". It's irrelevant anyway because the main irony of the situation still holds water regardless of why a particular person is on disability (it's fairly easy to assume it's a health matter anyway).

If you read my post and weren't such an angry person (who evidently feels that certain people are entitled to free money), you'd have read my point about volunteer work being every bit, if not more, strenuous and serious than paying gigs. Trust me, I've done volunteer work and most of it is not for flaky people, or for legitimately disabled people. Just like any job, volunteer or not, the head honchos don't want people they can't rely on.

My point again was that if he is legitimately disabled, he shouldn't worry about or try to make up for it doing volunteer work, because if he can't do a normal job for more than a couple months, he probably won't be able to hold down a volunteer job either. And if he can do volunteer work, he should be able to do normal work. They're all jobs whether they pay or not.
