    HI and welcome,

    Do you mean you're claiming Universal Credit? If so then do you work? or have you sent in fit/sick noters because you're unable to work?

    If you're unable to work and you haven't sent in any fit/sick notes then i'd advise you to do that to start off the limited capability for work process off. This link will help to explain this https://www.understandinguniversalcredit.gov.uk/new-to-universal-credit/health-conditions-or-disabilities/

    Do you claim DLA or PIP? PIP has replaced DLA and is a disability benefit for those who have difficulty in daily life because of the way their conditions affect them. Here's a link to explain this. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/

    If you have any further questions then please do just ask.

    Hello @casste83 and a big welcome to our online community.  How are you today and do you have anything nice planned? 

    As-well as the brilliant information provided by Poppy, you might find it interesting to browse our visual and hearing impairment discussion board https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/visual-and-hearing-impairments  

    Also, I hope your blackouts are being carefully monitored by your GP or a specialist.  That can't be easy to live with.  I hope you have a brilliant Saturday :)
