Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Disability is when you are not able to work.
2. X-ray will only suggest scoliosis. Degree of scoliosis and type or work will vary, which will determine your disability allowance.
3. Nutritional improvement, vertebral support and muscle strengthening exercises along with physiotherapy will be helpful.
4. Scoliosis degree is required for disability allowance. Type of work is also important. Discuss with your doctor.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
