I'm worried about my finances when I finish work

Hi every one. I'm Sue. New to the group and new to this stage of my disability which has gotten worse over the last 2 yrs. I'm at the stage of losing my job or having to throw the towel in and say enoughs enough. I suffer chronic back pain, cfs/me, fibro, diabetes type 1, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, depression and anxiety etc.... I'm off sick now due to panic attacks and a setback with cfs/me. I'm worried about my finances when I finish work. Is there much help?

Hi @Sue55, and a warm welcome to the community!
So sorry to hear that things are tough at the moment. As a starting point, I'd recommend the online benefits calculator, which will tell you what you may be entitled to. Have a look, and do come back to us with any questions! -
I'll do that. Thanks Pippa.
