I haven’t been able to work since last October due to chronic headaches, migraines!

I haven’t been able to work since last October due to chronic headaches, migraines, at the moment I’m living off me saving, can anyone tell me, am I entitled to any sort of benefits? Thank you

If you are unable to work, then you should apply for ESA, also, if your illness prevents you from looking after yourself properly, you may be entitled to PIP. I suggest you look on the Benefits and Work website, complete the test questions, and see where you are with the results. Also contact CAB, to see if they can help you with claiming. Good luck and hope your headaches cease soon.

Thank your advice about locking my posts, I think I’ve done it, but in not 109% sure, My symptoms seem to point to Fibromyalgia, I will discuss it with the specialist I’m seeing in May. Thanks again

Hi, I have had chronic headache's for over twenty years, the gp's put it down to vertigo but I think there's more to it. Would you mind sharing what the doctor says? Please. I'm quite interested.
