SSP/benefits/work

Hi
This site has been invaluable for support & info!

just wondered if anyone could give me some advice please?

I've been off work for almost 6 months with severe anxiety & depression. I'm on meds, am seeing a therapist & currently attending anxiety management classes, all of which have been very useful.

Someone told me that my SSP will run out soon (I don't get sick pay from my emloyer) I have a stressful job as a dental nurse & I honestly can't envisage returning to work the way I feel at the mo!

I'm worried about what happens if my SSP stops, how will I manage financially? Is it worth me trying CAB? Ive worked all my life & never been in this situation before & i'm so worried-what am I going to do?

Any advice/personal experiences would be much appreciated
