Hi You can apply for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) For your Disability.

As far as tax credits I Don't know anything about sorry. Good luck

tax credits are avalible for disabled people who cant work more than 22 or is its 24something toung that, hrs a week so if you have to reduce your hours on health grounds depending on your rate of pay they should kick in.

go to cab to fill the DLA forms in you have to say what its like on a bad day not a good one or you wont be entitled to anything. they will also be able to advise re tax credits.

Hi Toya,

I have no idea about tax credits, but you can claim for DLA.

The forms are really long and hard going. Fill them in over a the course of a couple of weeks as you will find different things happen in that time that don't automatically pop into your mind.

You are also supposed to fill in it as if you are having a really bad day.

get a close friend or family member to help as they will see things differently to you.

also take a photocopy before you send it off just in case it gets lost in the post or you need to refer back to it.

Good luck
