It really made the news big, a few years ago... there was a fireman(NYC) who had been injured on the job, and wanted to return to work, doing admnistrative work (actually doing fire safety inspections) but he keep being denied.. then he won the race up to the top of empire state building.. (he was fit, and could walk, he had injured his upper back and couldn't carry anything)...

well soon after winning the contest, he was back at work, instead of staying home collecting full salery on disablity.

everyone is always keen to cover stories about people who scam and cheat and abuse disability, this was memorable because he had to scheme to get off disability!
