Benefits panic and anxiety

[Jobstressy]

I work pt and am finding my panic attacks are returning the day before work.
I'm wondering if I'd be entitled to any benefits so I can give up work?
Dh is almost retired. We have savings but they won't last forever.
I feel like such a failure. But my health is deteriorating because of my job.
Any advice appreciated. T I A

So I claim benefits for mh. My husband works so we get a tiny bit of UC, and I get PIP. We are much worse off though.
I assume your husband’s pension would be taken into consideration wrt UC.

Yes I realise I won't get any benefits. I think I went into panic mode ( no pun intended) amd posted hoping I'd be able to contribute somehow financially without this job.

I'm going to take meds again or ask for something not so permanent?

You can get PIP - 440 £ per month since you "only" have daily living problems and no mobility issues. I have a friend who has it for anxiety. You can also get UC - PIP is not taken into account at all when applying for UC. Please see a social worker who can help you fill in the forms.

There's a self check tool for PIP here:

Thanks no I won't qualify.

TBH it's pretty hard to get the Daily Living bit for anxiety in the absence of other problems.

If it's so bad you cannot go outdoors and move around without another person to support you then that may be a way to get the Mobility element but it's pretty rare.

I've also had awful nighttime panic attacks for 30 years, upped my HRT for other reasons and they've just stopped. Literally couldn't believe it.
