Hi @wellington37 and a warm welcome to the community. I am glad you have found us.
I am not an expert in this particular area, but we do have people who are and I have no doubt they will be in touch with you soon. Bear with us, if you can, and I will be here, listening, if there is anything more you wish to tell me or to ask me.
Before I retired, doing a job I found very stressful, my wife would say to me each morning "Don't let the bu**ers grind you down!" Try, anyway, wellington.
Warmest best wishes to you,
Richard -

You might get a disability element in your Pension Credit. Have you thought about claiming PIP?
You could phone Age UK helpline for advice. -
We have the benefits calculator here you could try and the number for Age UK is 0800 055 6112Scope
