Benefits but still working?

I currently work around 35 hours/week but my job involves standing pretty much the whole shift... I was diagnosed with SLE lupus in October 2018 and put on hydroxychloroquine, I am very sore and tired and would love to cut my hours slightly but with a mortgage, bills and two kids financially I can’t. Does anyone know of any benefits that I may be entitled to to allow me to cut my hours slightly but still continue to work? Thank you x

There's Access to Work too, a grant for special equipment - maybe there's something to avoid standing all shift? xxx
