Menieres Desease 4 years on.....

Hi All, my Menieres is trauma/stress related and started 4 years ago after finding my ex partner had commited suicide. A week later I was travelling from Leeds to Durham to make funeral arrangements and suddenly huge attack of vertigo with sickness (called ambulance and taken to loal A&E who diagnosed Labrynthitus). Tinitus hugely in left ear and after ENT tests informed that I had Menieres Desease - hearing aids fitted although they do help with my deafness still feel self concious and hate having to wear them - hobbies "flying - pilots licence" no more! Haning spent the last 20 years on the road selling logistics software (UK, Ireland, Netherlands and South Africa) I can no longer drive long distance or cope with the stresses involved.

Have been told by the jobcentre that I am capable of working from home?

Jobcentre cant helpo me as still have a number of ongoing hospital appointments with ENT Audio and sleep dis-order, just keep going round in circles....

How do we move in to work with this desease? Have also been told to pursue registered disabled... Very lucky that my current partner is very supportive in every way. Any help would be very much appreciated - thank you
