I lost my job this year due to a medical problem that started the week before my birthday. I worked with the NHS.
I ended up being in and out of A&E different departments. Eventually I lost my job. Since the moment I got poorly I started apply in for jobs that require less physical effort. It’s going to come up for a year and I’ve had a hand full of interviews, always ends up being someone with more experience.

I feel lost, broken (literally in my mind, body & bank)

I need to work!

That sounds incredibly frustrating, and I'm sorry to hear about it. It doesn't seem legal that you could lose a job over a medical problem, but I'm not familiar with the local laws, of course. It sounds like all you can do is stay persistent, if you keep at it you'll find something.

I'm sorry I was also let go from a previous employer for attendance due to a medical condition that I was unaware of at the time. Since then I've been applying with a few interviews but no luck, when I tell them that I have a medical condition.
