    Welcome to the community @junecaine

    We have lots of members here who understand how tough it is to live with chronic pain. You might like to look through the dealing with pain category and the invisible impairments category.

    Consider applying for PIP it will help you financially now you have cut your hours but before you apply do your research on the PIP criteria this will give you the best chance of a good outcome 
    There is plenty of good advice on this site.
