Think you can claim univetsal credit if not working or if doctor has signed you off sick. Also have to be under certain age to claim pip.and if you pay council tax you can get either a reduction or pay none at all. And you may be able to under universal credit get free prescriptions eye tests dental care.have a chat with age concern or citizens advice they should be able to help.goodcluck

I’m 54 now and from 46 to 54 I’ve had 6 more illnesses one being very rare but you never give up like I say we fight are battles knowing you can’t win the war but we try and you have to I’m happy it can get hard and it can bring tears but I remember the good times and there are things that have made you smile

Take care stay safe stay alive
