Hello @cranny60 welcome to the online community,
Life has a way of sending us hurdles, so to be laid off and be coping with pain from a number of arthritic joints is a considerable set of hurdles. Some members of the community have taken this sort of setback to take time to have a look at their life and re assess what they want to do. Retrain? Downsize? Start hobbies? All things to think about.
First though investigating getting your money sorted is a crucial hurdle to overcome.
If it would be helpful to talk to our helpline they are open Monday - Friday 9.00 - 6.00 0800 5200 520 .
You could also contact your local Citizens Advice https://citizensadvice.org.uk Helpline 03454 040506
The link in the post above is also really helpful so I hope that you will find one of these suggestions gives you a solution.
Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes
Poppyjane
