Hi
I have been off work for 5 months & my sick pay will end next month. I am not able to return to work yet as still very bad. I have applied for PIP & just had a home assessment but dont know if I will get it. Are there any other benefits or help I can apply for or do I have to live on my husbands wage. I have never applied for benefits & been at my current job 12 years. I have no clue. Any help or advise will be appreciated x

Welcome to the community.
I'm sorry to hear that you are not able to go back to work yet.
In regard to your query, you could contact JCP by phone on 0800 055 6688 to make a claim for either ESA or Universal credit but as your husbands earnings will be taken into account I can not say if you would be entitled or not.
You can also check your entitlement here:

I wish you all the best with this and hope that you'll have a positive outcome.
Kind regards
