Not sure if this is too personal to ask but for those who have had to give up work and take disability, about how long was the process for you?

I know it’s different for everyone. But it will be a possibility for me in the near future and I’m just curious.

I am in the same boat. I'm on sick leave now but it's going to end. I read it takes 5 months to process. I planned on going back but I going to be a different employee now. And how much is it, is it enough to live off of. I just don't have answers....

Hey, I’ve had to give up my job as HCA due to my mobility issue. I applied for PIP it took about 6-8 weeks for me. However they can take longer. Also have you tried applying for esa ( work capability benefit ) through universal credit?
