Hello Nic
So sorry to read what a hard time you are having. Please look after yourself. We work to live, not live to work all the money in the world can’t buy your health I know it’s a great help.
You are working part time at the moment, I feel full time maybe a bit to much to cope with, was wondering if your HR department would consider a few extra hours a week to help you out financially.
I do wish you well going forward, take good care
Hugs Tili

Hi Nic
Sorry you’re having such a tuff time.
I found myself in a similar position. Im 61 and found it too painful to work full or part time.
I was able to retire from work on ill health grounds, so my work pension was inhanced.
Ive also just been awarded PIP.
Be honest with your HR and see if they can help, and have a look at applying for PIP, CAB are a great help.
You need to look after yourself only you know truly how you feel. Take care Jean x

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are suffering with pain/fatigue.
BCN should be able to put you in touch with a McMillan benefits advisor who could help you make a claim.
