Are there any benefits available.

[Amospower123]

My husband has been diagnosed with fybromyalgia. He works 30 hours weekly over 6 days . Some days its really hard to get out of bed. Hes in agony. Hes at doctors this week for medication. He also has arthritis for which he takes omeprazole, meloxicam and co codamol daily. Is there any benefits he could apply for so he could reduce his hours. Thankyou

Hi Amospower123

I sincerely hope that you and your husband are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I have pasted for you below a link to our mother site, FMA UK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information:

Your husband could apply for PIP (Personal Independence Payment), I have pasted a link from the GOV.UK below:

FMA UK also have a benefit adviser (Janet) and I have pasted a link to her contact page below:

I want to sincerely wish you and your husband all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Why not pop in to a Citizen Advice Bureau ? They'll have all the info. Good luck !
