The heartbreaking life story of a disabled man who has been rejected by the NDIS to the shock and anger of millions of Australians has been revealed for the first time. John pictured as a young man at his grandmother's birthday, had a fiancée, a great job and was physically fit before the neurological disorder took over him John G with Good Samaritan tradie Nathan Stafford, who cleared up the Ryde yard and championed the 36-year-old neurological disorder sufferer's bid to be accepted on the NDIS He lost his mother 'quite young' and then last year, his father George - a well-known 'bit of a knockabout' rugby league physiotherapist died aged 70. John said his house was a jumble of dirty dishes and takeaway food boxes because he couldn't physically clean up and the former 'neat freak' said he was embarrassed by his home's condition Despite a promise from NDIS Minister Bill Shorten on Wednesday in response to inquiries on John's behalf, he said he is still waiting for help to clean up his house John said he can no longer take public transport or go to the shops because of his involuntary movements and risk of falling over. Neither Major Neurological Disorder, nor John's other possible diagnosis, Functional Neurological Disorder appear among the dizzyingly long list of medical conditions on the NDIS qualifier inventory. Minister Bill Shorten did respond on Wednesday to Daily Mail Australia's questions about John's care, but John said he'd had previous reassurances and had 'been waiting long enough' John, who doesn't like taking pills, said he was forced to take 'an onslaught' of medication just to try to keep his condition under control, but that there was no reversing it Gardener Nathan Stafford cuts John's grass in one of many videos the online personality has posted of the disabled Ryde resident's plight while he waits for NDIS approval After Daily Mail Australia sought responses from the NDIS as to why John's application was rejected, Minister Bill Shorten's office responded.
