He is also a recipient of the Disability Workers Allowance .
He said they too were not left out from receiving government assistance, adding that volunteers would come by once a week to help them buy essential goods and to clean their homes. “Most of them have small businesses, work as taxi or lorry drivers while many are also self-employed in order to continue with their lives.
