    You might qualfy for Housing & council tax benefit, but if you don't have any dependents then I don't believe there is anything else.

    If you need prescriptions or dental/optical treatment then you can apply to have all or part of the costs met with a HC11 form ( I think thats the right number I've give you).

    If you need to visit the hospital then you can claim your fares back as long as you retain the tickets & present them at the cashiers office.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    I don't know about the benefits or about the nature of your illness, but could you maybe start looking for another job that won't be affected by your problems?

    Hi, you may be entitled to Income Support, depending on your age, capital etc, which in turn will give you acces to Housing Benefit, free prescriptions etc. See link here for more info http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/JCP/Customers/WorkingAgeBenefits/Dev_015271.xml.html
