A former business owner says he doesn't know how he will survive on £980 in benefits a month after an attack has left him unable to work.
David Thomas, 57, was assaulted outside a pub in Trent Vale, Stoke-on-Trent, in 2013 when he stepped in to help break up a fight.
He was punched to the ground, where he hit his head on a kerb that left him unconscious for two weeks.
