advice needed

Hi new here and looking for some advice on how to make some money nothing illegal .

I am too sick to work but don't qualify for sickness benefits and i am not well enough to have a job so don't qualify for job seekers allowance so benefits are out of the question.

Things are getting really bad and i can't afford daily living i don't even have 1p and no food . i am staying on a friends sofa at the moment but she said she cant keep me as i cant pay my way . i just don't know what to do any more just feel like it would be better if i was not here .


so please any suggestions to make a quick £££

    Well this forum is full of ideas for making a bit of extra money, but there is no such thing as a magical quick fix, otherwise none of us would bother working.

    If you are unfit to work then are you entitled to other benefits that you are missing out on?

    Don't let your desperation pull you into one of the scam websites that promises the world for nothing. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    If you are too sick to work why can't you claim benefit?

    You should be able to claim benefit if you are too sick to work, please explain further as nobody quite understands what you mean.

    Were you turned down for ESA? Have you appealed?

    Do you mind saying what your illness is?
