Hi KR
Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
It is something we cannot advise you on, you need to seek specialist advice from a employment adviser, are you in a union? if you are then contact your union rep for advice.
Did you injure your back at work?
You may want to talk with ACAS 0300 121 1100

We would normally advise you to seek help from a welfare rights worker where you can give all your details such as date of birth, but due to the lockdown most advice centres are operating a limited service. You can check by putting your information into one of the online benefit calculators. We do have some excellent guides to help you with your claims in our 'Members Only Guides' section.

Even if you can apply for UC you might also want to have a look at whether you can claim New Style ESA, you will need to have at least 50 weeks of NI Contributions in the two Tax Years 2017-18 and 2018-19.

In both cases you will need a Fit Note fro your GP.
Our ESA/UC Claim guide explains the criteria you will need to meet for an award.

If your limitations have existed for three months then you may be able to claim PIP
