Been off work since early July (awaiting VRT treatment for balance issue) and work have told me I will be on half pay from now. Is there xny benefit I can claim to top my income up for a short while? I am hoping VR treatment helps me get back to work before Xmas. Signed off until 22 Nov at moment.

But you should really be on full pay for 6 months, depending
On how long you have been with your firm and of course
their policy
Is. You could ring DWP and explain your situation if you are eligible
They will send forms. I actually got help from CAB to fill my forms in
Good luck,, I think you should apply for PIP as well, coz you can get
PIP even if you are working,, but both benefits may need an assessment
At some point. You can claim ESA in the assessment phase for 13
Weeks while they decide if you are eligible,,, if you are then they will increase
Payment or stop it. BBut what you get for 13wks is yours, does help
With the money situation, you should also find out about SSP
Good luck ☺
