I have loads of hospital appointments coming up I am looking at leaving my job as my health is getting worse. Would like to know if I should leave my job would I be able to get any benefits?

    In my experience it was best to let my employer dismiss me on medical grounds.

    I was advised by my union that if I left voluntarily that I would make myself intentionally unemployed and that may jeopardise my rights to claim some benefits.

    You could claim pip if you don't already receive that.
