Nothing really to do with my illness but all the stress is making me feel worse! Struggling with money pretty bad, never struggled since being ill... I cant find a full time job (everyone not ringing me back once i do say i have an illness) and i physically cant work no longer then 4 hours a day, my own job wont let me work more then 20 hours a week... I have tried to claim for pip ended up having to go to tribunal then got refused!
I have no idea what to do, what i can and cant claim for everything i do try to do online says im not eligible
