You could investigate your eligibility through benefits adviser at DSS, link below:

gov.uk/benefits-adviser

A lot depends on how your everyday living is affected by your illnesses, it also depends on the income coming into the home and how much you have in the bank. Maybe phone the benefits advisory office at your local DSS or JSA to see if you may qualify, or contact citizens advice bureaux.

BLF also have benefits advisers, click on red balloon top right for their contact telephone number.

Hi Jackie, I responded to your question on another post. If you have been working and paying NI contributions, you should be entitled to contribution based Employment Support Allowance (ESA). If you do not have enough NI contributions try for income based ESA, though this is only payable if you have insufficient savings/income from other sources.
