Fibro and benefits

[Jl1986]

I've suffered with fibro and chronic fatigue for 7 years . I've previously tried to go onto ESA and get no where told I am fit to work .

Which i persevere in doing (roofing , all over the northwest all weathers.

This has a detrimental effect suffering flair ups regularly and struggling like crazy .

Not only this , esa is not very much and I can not afford to live on such short benefits as I need to travel to see my children and esa dosent allow for you to run a car it's hard to run yourself on esa unless you like noodles and rice haha does anyone have any advice on what I can receive or entitled to please

There are lots of charities out there you could seek advice from including FMA U.K.

I found Citizens Advice Bureau xx

Do you claim PIP -personal independence payment ? You can claim if you are working.

I would suggest you take a look here at this Benefits Checker entitledto.co.uk/benefits-c...

It will tell you what you might be eligible for, in addition to ESA if you qualify for that on your next attempt.
