Hi Barticus and welcome

If you are unlikely to return to employment then you should start to prepare for claiming benefits

ESA or UC depending on your area is the benefit for people unable to work due to sickness or disability

PIP is the benefit if you need help with daily activies or mobility

Have a look at the B&W self tests
