Hello @td43 Pleased to me you welcome. I would suggest have a look at our benefits posts and threads.

For information and advice.

Also have a look at What Benefits am I entitled to.

Have you also looked at the DWP websites as well they have a lot of information and advice.

Hope that helps

Take care

Hello @td43 and a warm welcome to the community. Glad you have found us, and sorry you're in difficulties.
Could you tell us what it is that makes you struggle? Do you have a particular diagnosis, for example? It might help us to help you if we understand a little better.
Warmest best wishes to you

Hey, I do not have a specific diagnosis I am certain I have a learning disability I have found things like studying and holding jobs very difficult and have taken longer to grasp things than the usual person. I am just about to lose my job again...and I have felt very ignored...I also do not consider myself lazy...if I am having common problems everywhere I feel something sis wrong with me...this will be my fourth probation i will be failing.

Hi @td43 and thank you for getting back to me. I do understand that you are having a difficult time, and I do want very much to help
Would it not be wise to see your doctor, explain what is happening and try to get a diagnosis? Or have you tried already?
Best to you,
Richard

Hi @td43
At this point I'm honestly not sure what to suggest to you for the best, but I'm only the first to respond and there will be others It might also be worth your having a look at MIND, the mental health charity, here https://www.mind.org.uk/
For now, please stay in touch, and I will try to find some advice to help you.
Very best to you,
Richard
