Benefits and Inheritance

Currently awaiting £100,000 in inheritance.
I don’t want to give the impression that he is a tired bum feigning a disability. His illness truly holds him back in achieving the things he wants in life and has done so for the past 15 years. He is aware of his limitations and is always angry with himself because of his disability. In short he is ashamed of himself.
As an example, he droves an old 2001 Volvo and has done for years. He was eligible to get a disability car but used this car instead because he doesn’t want to feel ‘disabled’ and I think kudos to him for not accepting certain benefits just because they’re available to him.
Any thoughts appreciated.
If he is getting £100,000 and he can drive, the world is his oyster.
He could drive a taxi/bus/van; just like the rest of us.
If he has £100,000 he could buy his own minibus/van and be self employed.
Work 20 hours or 60 hours.0
