I have been suffering with long covid for 2 years, diagnosed by gp. Also have diabetes, 35 years. I aged 60yo and still work 2 days a week but I am struggling. I am exhausted, physically, sleeping aa much as I can, even at work. I am wondering if I can get financial support from benefits, never ever claimed before.

    Hi @hkp126, welcome to the community. Sorry to hear you've been struggling so much, that sounds like a lot to deal with. You might like to have a look at a benefits calculator to see what you'd be entitled to:

    https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk

    It will ask a few questions about your circumstances and can give you an idea of what you might be eligible for and how much you could get.

    Are your work understanding of your difficulties?
