I'm in the UK.
I too are unable to work because of my Fibro. I get PIP and ESA.
From PIP i get roughly £450 a month
From ESA I get £73.10 weekly.

This helps me survive. I do have a partner, but we do own are own house. You do have to be careful with money.

The way I found out about this, was by going to a local Job seekers centre. They were brilliant, they explained everything to me and helped me fill in the forms when I gother them.

I live in the states. Thank god I have a husband that works his butt off and tells me no work. I can't so many years working in pain just can't no more. We live on very tight budget. Don't no what I would do without him. Waiting on disability but we all no how that is. I've been out of work for 16 months now and my attorney tells me I have about another 16 months before I go into a hearing and that will determine weather I get some help or not. Hugs and Prayers

I have been unable to work for 3 years now due to severity of neck disc herniations and fibro

I was paid off after an open and frank discussion. It was hard but as it was shown to me i was a danger in the workplace and that was just as my condition started to deteriate. I am a lot lot worse now and was told recently because i had underlying undiagnosed illnesses i could have ended up seriously ill, although it was hard to adjust after working my full life and being the go to guy i gradually accepted my fragility.

Yes I did. I'm on ESA and PIP. It's not much money, but enough to live on. I also receive Housing benefit. I would recommend getting someone with practice to help you fill out the PIP form as it looks simple but they are looking for very specific answers.

Hope this helps. Good luck! Xx
