Dear roscoe64, I hope that you read my comments. Your not on the scrap heap and it will get better. I too, have been involved in a accident and I understand how quickly life can change, what goes up must come down so what goes down must come back up.
You should be able to claim for the work accident, get a good solicitor on a no-win no fee agreement, one that specialize's in your health condition. For disability living allowance, appeal but get someone to support you, The Scoliosis Association are really helpful, or maybe someone from the Citizens Advice Bureau?
Sorry if these things are already in the pipeline but please don't give up.
I know what it feels like to be isolated and to feel that no one is on your side but it's a fear and I think that you need to preserve with people and organisations to get your viewpoint and experiences across. It's not that it's not in your grasp it's just things just don't come easily because often it involves money but you can do it when you preserve.
Is this the perfect chance to learn something new? I mean studying and learning involves sitting and reading etc and from personal experience at first it's hard to concentrate when your in pain but when you get into something it's the best pain relief. Maybe this is your chance to do something you have always wanted to do. Make it work for you x
