I am suffering from Anxiety with depression. Plus I have athritis especially in my knees. I am only receiving bereavement allowance as ESA say that I have enough to live on. Just wondering if this is right or not. Sorry my husband passed away suddenly 20th December last year.

Hi @TeresaPuxley welcome to the community and I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
You can try the benefits calculator here to see what you could be entitled to, and you could fill in the PIP self test to see if you would score high enough to receive Personal Independence Payments.Scope
