Roger Tullgren, a Swedish heavy metal fan, has won a case to claim disability allowance because he is a fan of hard rock.

I should give this a shot in a few years...

"I'm a member of a hard rock band. I do it for a living, so I'm at least 10x as disabled as him. I need to live big off my disability check."
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

You should pay the government for being allowed to be in a Christian rock band, not the other way around.

To be fair, it's obvious that the guy has serious psychological problems.

Agreed. :)
