Is all publicity good publicity for disabled people?

Article about a man with MS who can usually only walk 10m, who walked 60km in a week to raise money for the MS Society:

I couldn't help wondering if he got the Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance [now called PIP] whether doing, and publicising, something like this could cause him to lose it?
