"I was laid off in November 2012 from a council contract. I have been looking for work until I had an accident to my right lower leg in June 2013 and I received ESA. I had to go into hospital for an operation and this was postponed by 3 weeks, meanwhile my benefits were stopped. I have now had the operation but I have been told I cannot have any Jobseekers Allowance until later in the month. I am currently on crutches and not really fit for work as I am a driver. I plan to appeal against the refusal of ESA. I have applied for Disability Living Allowance and was told I would be interviewed at home, however nobody came and I was not contacted"
We thank Daniel for sharing his story with the West Cheshire Foodbank.
