So I was diagnosed in 2000.I have scoliosis, I had an industrial in 1985 and as a result have on going pain.

I have severe and anxiety and have had since childhood due to my mother's mental health.

I worked up to 3 years ago.

I'm nearly 59.

But I now know I can't go back to work.

My question is although I get pip.

Would I be entitled to UC?

Thanks everyone
