Hi , new here .. wondered how I go about getting some financial help ? 
I’m self employed part time and was originally on working tax credits before Covid , This topped up my earnings as I have suffered with Crohn’s disease since 2000. 
During Covid my claim changed to universal credit and now they’re hassling me to find extra work . Going into the job centre every week . Filling out online job searches . 
I can only work a few hours before extreme fatigue kicks in . I have daily muscles aches and pain , dry eyes . Severe urgency to use the loo throughout the day . Tummy spasms..  I work a day and the following day I’m completely wiped out . 
I’ve applied for disability twice and it’s was rejected both times . Im not sick enough for PIP but not healthy enough to manage working full time . I’m at my wits end and honestly don’t know where to go for help . Anyone have some wonderful advice for me ?
