If you can't work then you may be eligible for Employment Support Allowance (ESA). Have a look at the following

www.gov.uk/employment-support-allowance

and our ESA claim guides

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa1

You can check your eligibility for other benefits by using one of the online benefit calculators.
