its not about what you have hun its about how this effects you. So if you cat walk far and have great pain then yes but if you go on benefits and work website they have a tester form which will give you more idea . Good luck x

Hello Leanne,

If you would like to email info@fibroaction.org they can send you the Benefits & Work Guides for free. They contain information that may help you with your Benefit claims.

I guess that these days if you have both legs and arms missing they will think you are a benefit fraud!

You should make a claim there is nothing to lose. Like ha been said its not what you have it's how it effects you.

Wishing you luck xx
