Signed off work with depression & anxiety indefinitely

Are there any eligible data entry jobs working from home?

Eligible for what? 

It rather feels like you are taking stabs in the dark - "is this a job where I don't have to deal with people" instead of "is this a job that I can do and be satisfied with" or even "is this a job somebody wants me to do for them". Working from home doesn't get you out of interacting with people. Far from it. I've been working from home for 18 months now, and did some working from home prior to that as well. It is really hard - you still have to deal with people, but even zoom or teams doesn't replace real face to face communication. Digital communication is very hard work. 

You need to understand that hiding from the world is not the way to tackle your anxiety. That is the way to make it worse. And the world won't change to wrap around your wish to not deal with people. What are you doing to tackle that? Have you spoken to your GP? Have you, as suggested previously, had a look at what help may be available to support you? You are not going to get anywhere sitting at home trying to think of jobs that won't involve meeting or working with people.

The other question is whether your present job could easily be changed tor reduce your anxiety - so you just go in, do the data entry and reduce interaction with people.  But colleagues need to know that is what you need to be able to help.

There were always plenty of scam 'data entry' jobs working from home, but data protection requirements (especially GDPR) make that a non-starter for most reputable businesses.

Check Indeed for 'Remote' Jobs.

If you're signed off indefinitely then your employer doesn't have much of a case to keep you in employment... so probably not a wise idea.
Consider speaking to your GP and see if there are any services that can help you get to the bottom of your anxiety and the reason you are triggered by the issues in your workplace and hopefully you can find the right role for you.

Please aspire higher work-wise. Why should taxpayers carry you through life? 

You should look to treat the root cause of your problem, which is your mental health, not work.

Exercise regularly, avoid alcohol and drugs and eat well. Make sure you are not overweight, which makes you more prone to physical conditions. And look to grow your social ability through clubs and organised social situations - all that will mean you can hold down a meaningful job and live a productive life, instead of looking for a clause to get you away from it.

There are a number of charities / organisations that specialise in helping people with mental health issues find suitable employment.

The Richmond Fellowship is one such example and maybe worth the OP contacting them.
