I have been suffering with psoriatic arthritis for a few years but due to stress at work it has been intensified so much it has basically made me immobile! it affects my hands and feet so I cant hold or lift anything. it basically causes pain in every joint of my body. I have been off work for over a year and am receiving no income! I need help doing most things!

    If you fit the descriptors for ESA and/or DLA (they are different) then you could claim; you would need to have a look at them and see if you fit into any of them.
