There was a bloke I could’ve sworn was called Mohamed Barry (who I can’t find on Bailii) who worked the Wimbledon fortnight and that was sufficient to earn him worker status… Your fella should have plenty of work to get over the hill.
Not unusual for DWP to claim “no evidence of any work” because he hasn’t provided payslips; providing them might be enough.
Here is a link to the case that Dan has mentioned
thanks all
Need much more info’. Are his kids at school? Does his wife work? Is he materially dependent on his father?
