Hi, my name is jojo444!

I am looking for advice. Due to problems with my heart I have had to reduce my working hours, and I need to know if I can claim benefits. Also can I be described as disabled, I’m not sure what criteria I need to meet.

Hi @jojo444

Welcome to our online community/family.

We have got some very useful info on Benefit’s here on our site.

You can use our “Benefit Calculator” which is a good starting point.

I will post a link below for you:

Here’s the definition on “Disabled” from within the internet for you:
