Sorry to hear this :( It is paid on a case by case basis, which you can read more about here raynauds.org.uk/benefits/pip and here disabilityrightsuk.org/ Might be best to contact disability rights as they would know more regarding your case, or the disability benefits helpline gov.uk/disability-benefits-... Hope you get it sorted and also get paid! Thanks

Through Disability Living Allowance (DLA) you can put a claim in, even though you are working. I had to stop working because I was no longer able to, and I understand your situation.

If you ring the DLA on 0845 7123456 and ask them to send you a form, you can then fill it in and they will look at your claim, and be able to help you.

This will then enable you to claim disability allowance. Take care.

Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Apart from putting in a claim for Disability Living Allowance you may need to ask your doctor to sign you off sick for a while and see if there is anything more he/she can do to improve your health. Receiving the benefit won't make your work any easier to do. Is there something else you can do in your company? If not, you may need to find another job if possible. Not easy, I know.

Good luck!
