  Hi there 
  
  You could be entitled to new style esa if you have paid enough ni and have medical condition confirmed by fit note 
  
  If you are getting ssp now you can claim 3 months b4 this ends but won't get any payment till ssp ends 
  
  There is also uc and again you can report a medical condition  and if eligible could get more money 
  
  Both of these would require a work capability assessment if you are reporting a condition 
  
  Dependant in your ability to do daily tasks and your mobility you may qualify for pip 
  
  There is a benefits calculator in our benefits section You can put your details in and it will advise on benefits you may be eligible for 
  
  Hope this helps lots to take in but you have few months to read up on it all

  Welcome to the community @Shazeal I'm sorry to hear about your employment situation. It must be quite stressful. How have you been coping? 
  
  Here's a link to the benefits calculator that Janer1967 has mentioned above. It'd help us if you could share a little more about why your wages will be stopping in 2 months, and whether you're currently accessing any benefits.
