Hi all, I am finding it near impossible to do my job at the moment, i work in the plumbing and heating industry. Does anybody know what entitlements i may be entitled to? As i am classed as self employed ssp is only £67.00 per week and this is no way enough for me to survive, let alone have my central heating on.

from my experience there is nothing. I was told because Raynaud's is caused by cold that I couldn't get any help as the British weather is so unpredictable.
No kidding, not like I was being told anything I didn't already know!
I'm also self employed (a MotorSport artist) & as part of my work needs to be done outdoors & I find it next to impossible to do.
Good luck - I hope you find some kind of help.
Does your illness affect other things you do.If so you may be entitled to dla its worth a try.Dont suffer anymore i had to make the changes .I struggled for a while but now im starting to cope.
I have Raynauds disease and Diffuse Scleroderma and receive DLA.
hI Gavin, try for DLA, you may qualify. Goodluck !!
