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:

Hi @jojo444 and a warm welcome to the community. Thank you for sharing this with us and I am sorry to hear that. @steve51 has pointed you to a great resource which is the benefit calculator. If you believe you are entitled to PIP/UC/ESA or any other benefit then the community are more than willing to help you throughout the process!
