    Indeed, it is so very important for someone to feel like they have a purpose and are important. My father suffered brain damage and is ineligible for work even though he wanted to trick the person assessing him. Being allowed to do a menial job (with the people assisting him in his kob getting subsidized and him getting barely any pay) with any pay at all, made him so proud he even has pictures framed of him working there around his house.

    He has been unable to work now (even there) for quite a few years and has taken up drinking instead. I don’t really blame him either.
