Do you know of the Benefits and Work website ? you can sign up for a year, it's about £16 and their information is excellent. Are you a member of a union ?

no the job I do doesn't have a union. remploy said they can advise me on somethings. I have problems moving around with the pain a lot which makes it hard to get out of bed!!

Hi I wou l'd recommend the website Judy mentioned as well. You might be able to apply for ESA if your condition is preventing you working. Also possibly DLA (or PIP as it might be called now) which i think (used to be anyway) is based on what support you need (even if you don't get it) for everyday activities.

In applying it's best to include as much 'evidence' as you can in terms of diagnosis, GP's and consultants letters etc. The CAB may also be able to help with the forms which can be long.

thanks I appreciate the help I am very tired of it all and money stress in top makes me stressed. The doctor has given me a temporary diagnosis of chronic pain syndrome. hoping if I ever get my pain management clinic appt they can give me a result! !
