Benefit help

OhYeah

Hi, I work nights full time. I have a mortgage and children with no financial support from my ex. I was in a minor car accident 2 years ago. My back has never been the same since the accident and I'm in constant lower back pain. I have started working nights on a factory assembly line which means i have to stand all night. Because I have a mortgage I have simply struggled my way through. I have been working in the factory for 2 months and I am employed not by the factory but by an agency. I took the job because I was desparate to keep up payments with the mortgage and to support the children. I didn't think it would have this impact on my back. I rest all day whilst the children are at school but still it is extremely painful. I don't know how long I can keep it up and wanted to know if I would be entitled to any benefits if I gave up my job on health grounds due to my back. I am constantly worrying about the mortgage.

You would be better posting on the benefits boards rather than this one.
