Hi and a very warm welcome to the community.

You could apply for pip but you may be aware of potential government changes making it much harder to qualify and I don't know where you would stand with claiming esa or universal credit if you give up your job.

Hey there @passey123 and a warm welcome from me too.

It's worth checking a benefits calculator to see what you could claim. Or possibly look into early retirement on medical grounds?
