Hi people i have a quick question. I broke a small bone in my back in August 2001 and suffered quite badly, roughly March 2002 i went back to work in the same trade as a bricklayer but this was short lived i was back out of work by july 2002 my back had gone again i had returned to work too soon. Since July 2002 till September 2007 i was out of work severly injured the same bone in my back refused to heal and i had small bone fragments floating around. To cut a long story short i had to give up my trade as a brickie. I returned to work in September this year driving a Van for a large company the money is very poor for the 1st 6 months and i applied for the Back to Work scheme immediatly but was refused for not qualifiying the amount of time i was out of work, i have appleaed and told them basically the same story i have told you but have heard nothing in 6 weeks.
Some facts about me i'm 29 married 2 children living in a council house.
I never claimed any benefits till my accident always worked from the time of leaving school.
Since 2001-2002 i have been on injury benefit, disability benefit, and all sorts of different payments including supplementry allowence.
My rough payment claiming for the 2 chlidren and wife was 350euro weekly
I currently earn about 100 euro more than this but after 6 months things will improve but the main thing is i am just happy to be back working.
Have also applied for Fis.
Can anyone answer my question do i qualify for back to work allowence??
Any questions please ask
Thank you in advance Stephen
