Disabled Adult Railcard query

[Llanigraham]

At the beginning of March I will be travelling to London with a colleague, but he will not be joining me until later in the journey.
I know that I am entitled to a "helper", but how can he buy a ticket using my "discount"?

From the relevant section of The Manual, as it were,

Size of group

One adult cardholder at the discount shown above or
One adult cardholder and one accompanying adult or child at the discount shown above or
One child cardholder without discount and one accompanying adult at the discount shown above.

Discounted price tickets purchased by a Disabled Persons Railcard holder for themselves and an accompanying adult or child should be issued for travel for the same origin and destination and should normally be of the same ticket type (e.g. Off-Peak Return).

However, the accompanying adult or child can join the Railcard holder for only the outward or return leg of a journey. In this case the appropriate discounted single ticket should be issued and the ticket type may vary.

The accompanying adult or child must stay with the Railcard holder throughout the journey as the Disabled Persons Railcard validates all tickets.

I think officially you have to split your tickets at the station where he joins you, however I can't see anything saying he may not start short, provided that there is no restriction on BoJ.

If you don't mind, I'll PM you.
I can deal with signalling, but tickets...........................
