I suffer from violent Migraines , i have 3 part time job's, all cleaning, a job i love, but have had to go back to, as my other job as a breakfast cook in a hotel, was too much for me, and wasnt getting much rest bite to be able to cope and manage my Migraines. I get weekends off now and, bank holidays, but one of my jobs is really hecktick, to which i wish i could give it up, but i cannot afford to do so. Every night i come home from that one, I am in agony, especially in this heat. I am on regular medication from the doctors, had a consultation with a Occupational Health advisor, To say i do have a disability and to manage my absent triggers accordingly. I do want to continue to work , but cannot get help from PIP2 for support. Can anyone advice me if there is a benefit out there for us, who can work at least part time, for mental health reason, to be able to still have a working life, social life. see people, rather ran be confind to the bedroom or bathroom floor because of this ilness. Please help ??

Hi and welcome to the community
I am sorry to hear of your situation
It's hard to advise what you could be entitled to as we don't know all your circumstances that would be taken into account
Maybe try a benefits calculator there is one in here in the benefits section0 -

Hello and welcome to the community @Titchnussbut cannot get help from PIP2 for supportWhat do you mean by this? Have you tried applying for PIP in the past, but been denied it?
Have you spoken to your employer about reasonable adjustments? This might make work more manageable for you.
