Welcome @mcubie
You say that your illness and disability is effecting you from working, firstly if you have a disability of which you have not said but if you are in discomfort then you need to see your GP the first point of call. Just tell your GP your situation and how you feel and struggling if that's the case. He will give you a sick note and possibly if the situation for your GP for you to see a specialist at the hospital then this takes you through to if you are not able to go work due to your disability. 
Don't do it after do it now if you are what you are saying you should not have to suffer. Take care mcubie keep safe good luck.

as other have said get to the GP do it now.The sooner its done then the process can begin.It takes time but just take your time without getting stressed,get as much help as you can,give the Welfare Rights a call,or Citzens Advice they can steer you in the right direction.Another place is give your local Jobcentre a call  and see if they can also help you,thats what they are there for,use them
