I would go on turn2us.org.uk/Find-Benefit.... This will work out what you're entitled to in terms of benefits etc.

or this one: entitledto.co.uk/

achydunlin has given you two good sites. You can also have a word with Janet fom Fibromyalgia Action UK. We don't know your circumstances but if you are working and sick when sick pay ceases you can apply for ESA and there is PIP. If 65 or over there is Attendance Allowance. Sometimes these can trigger other benefits so that is why it is always best to get some expert advice from somewhere like the Citizens Advice Bureau. Best of luck.x

Thank you for your help I'm going to make an appointment with citizens advice bureau tomorrow

Do let me know how you get on. This benefit system is so complex it is very difficult for the layperson to understand. Many advisors now rather than attempt to work it out manually greatly rely on computer programmes to work it out.x
