Not to say symptoms can't be faked, but the alternate picture of a variable condition seems more plausible to me.
The barrister, who disclosed that Mr Miley had been secretly filmed by private investigators on behalf of Friends Life, said he was medically assessed in September 2013 in a periodic review.
He told a chronic pain specialist he felt “rotten” after his first assessment, and had to retreat to the sofa at home - being unable to walk or read emails.
But the QC told the court: “In fact, contrary to these assertions, on the 24th of August 2013 Mr Miley had attended a beer festival at a public house for approximately five hours.
“He had socialised with friends without any apparent difficulty and, after drinking several pints, drove himself, his wife and his seven-year-old daughter home.”
