    Hello.

    So I have job seeker allowance (I have 20 years old) almost 6 months ago while I played a football with my friends I got an injury in my left knee (LCL torn) I went to hospital and they just made X ray and gave me a pain killers.... I was waiting to get healthy and after 2 month I came back to game. 7th of Nov 2011 I got again injury in the same knee and I said that those doctors won't help me so I decide to go back to my country and visit good trusted doctor. I flight to country I made an MRI, X ray, and other tests and doc said that I have ACL ligament torn.... I was not able to even move...horrible.

    I came back to Ireland 2 days ago and my question is that it's possible to claim for injury benefit / illnes and the second question (most important) please help:

    The doctor said I need to come back to my native country because the surgery is needed, the problem is I getting a Jobseeker Allowance is that possible that social can send money via credit card or something like that? If not how social can help me?
