hello i have had bi polar for 20 years but have never claimed any benefit for it. i have just left a job i had for 1 year which was a miracle but had to leave because my symptons have got worse.i do not want job seekers as i am 60 yr\ears old and looking for a job will make my symtons much worse. i am not lazy but i do feel i cannot work again. any suggestions please? thanks.

Could you do voluntary work?

ESA (or, in those parts of the country where it now applies, Universal Credit) might be a possibility. Start here:
