Lost my job due to a non covid-19 related health scare

Hello all,
I will keep this as brief as possible.
I collapsed whilst within work hours, suspicions of a possible heart problem.
A ways down the line I took two weeks off (unpaid as self employed) to rest and recuperate.
Whilst on holiday I was contacted by my sponsor/employer stating I should not return to work pending an OHA.
Almost 2 months after not receiving any dates or an occupational health assessment (OHA) I was told I do not have a job to come back to.
Now I'm struggling to find work as I am banned from driving until this all gets rectified (Health concerns)
I have been told I can work, just can't drive.
I was not eligible for the government grant, nor can I see any funding available to me to assist myself with bills until I can get back on my feet.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

You need to take a look at benefit calculators to see what you are entitled to claim.1

Are you employed or self employed?0 -
OP does not explain why they don't qualify for SEISS.
OP may be eligible for BBLS.0 -
Is this one of those situations where your employer calls you self-employed to avoid meeting their obligations but actually you're not; or were you genuinely self-employed?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.1
