Hi @luppylou, sorry to hear that you're finding work difficult. I wonder if you've discussed things with your employer, to see if there are any reasonable adjustments they can offer to make things easier?
If you do decide to leave, it's impossible to guarantee what help you will to get, but it might be a good idea to use an online benefits calculator to see what you may be able to claim. Have a go, and do come back to us with any questions. You can also find an overview of the different benefits here!

Hi,SSP is payable for 28 weeks with a fit note from your GP before you can claim ESA. https://www.gov.uk/statutory-sick-pay
