If someone were to quit their job due to a long documented battle with mental health and physical health issues, what benefits would they be entitled to? Any info appreciated.

Hi Shaisum

It would depend on your circumstances and if you paid enough National Insurance contributions.

We would advise you to seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation, who will be able to take all your circumstances into consideration when offering advice. You can find your local Welfare Rights Organisation to help you with advice by clicking on the link below and putting in your post code, it will then come up with a MAP with a list of agencies. advicelocal.uk

I would look into ‘medical retirement’. Do not give up your job as this could be problematic to say the least. If you go through the ‘medical retirement’ route, everything is documented and HMRC are informed.
