Does anyone have experience(In the U.K.) of getting off benefits and getting back into work. I know I'm not quite ready yet but am starting to think about it and need a plan (I'm horrendous without structure, plans and routine in my life!!)

@A MyFibroTeam Member thank you for your reply. It's so good to know there is a way to change my future. It's making so ill knowing all the struggles I have to face just to get back to work.

Yeah I know about disability but not sure about esa. I'm the same, some days I'm capable of completing tasks and then the next day I can't get off the sofa! It's such a pain in the ass! I'm thinking about working from home so that I can do as much or as little as I want each day.

We checked into it and found that if you make under a certain amount it stays the same. If you work a little more they adjust your disability. It's a trial faze. If you have a good employer that you can work less hours, or call in sick you're lucky. I never know how I will feel from day to day. Good luck. You could always vollenteer to keep in touch with others.
