I am new on here and feeling a little lost having lost my job through ill health and having difficulty finding what to do. I have suffered with my mental health since 2018 and have osteoarthritis which is painful and fills my days just tired and in pain.

Hello @Rosie14
Welcome to the community, it's nice to see you join us.
Sorry to hear that you lost your job, that must have been a difficult experience. With finding what to do next, do you think you want to look for new employment or perhaps something else? It can take a while to decide what your next step should be, especially when the feeling of losing your previous job is still recent.

I am nearly 65 and year away from my pension and can't wait to be honest. This universal credit is a mine field. I am seeing my gp when I can and he is aware. I talk more to the nurses at the surgery as I get more help and information from them. thank you for your coment. Still not sure how this site works and where to find things but getting there.

Hi @Rosie14
I'm glad you have support from your GP and the nurses, do ensure you continue to access them if you ever feel as though you need further support.
