'The prosthetic leg is not the right fit for me and I am constantly falling and injuring myself,' Jamshid Rahimi Azar told BuzzFeed News.
When Jamshid Rahimi Azar fell down last month, there was nobody to help him.
Then the coronavirus pandemic struck. Now as he is learning to live without his leg, even the limited support he was expecting is out of reach. "He has not received appropriate treatments such as physiotherapy for adapting his amputated organ to the prosthesis. This has caused him to fall many times during the previous month," wrote psychologist Dr Hoda Barazandeh.
His psychologist wrote that Rahimi Azar was still learning to move with one foot and was unable to do daily tasks such as cleaning and cooking. He lives in a sharehouse, but he is not close with his housemates and they are out at work during the day. His house also has stairs that are difficult for him to navigate. He is no longer able to drive.
"Due to the social distancing rules, his friends stopped visiting him and he feels much more isolated and forgotten," Barazandeh’s report stated."Since he does not have anyone in Australia to support him, he is feeling isolated, hopeless and helpless." But Australia's welfare agency Centrelink has told Rahimi Azar's caseworker he is ineligible for the disability pension because of his visa status. As an asylum seeker, he is ineligible even for the JobSeeker unemployment payment.
