Hello Emma030884 I was been diagnosed with Scleroderma and Pulmonary hypertension in December last year and have been unable to work since then. I've applied successfully for PIP and currently waiting to hear about contributions based ESA application. I'm not sure about your specific condition but maybe someone else on here will know. Dependent on income there are other means tested benefits too. Hope that's some help and happy to chat anytime x
