HI, I just wondered if anyone can give me some advise? I've been suffering from fibromyalgia for nearly 6 months now, I've had to give up my job in cornwall and move back in with my folks in Suffolk. I wondered if I can apply for any disability allowances while I look for a more suitable job? Many thanks.

There's PIP but it totally depends on how your condition affects you daily. Even will be needed to support a claim.

As for anything else then you'll need to see if your area is a full Universal Credit area. Check here.

Or you can put your details into a benefits calculator.

You can apply for Employment and Support Allowance. You will need sick notes from your GP.
