Answers:
I would say speak to your gp and the job centre they may be able to help you with your finances I have not been able to hold a full time job due to doctors and hospitals and I dont know how I would cope if I didnt have some help they may be able to help good luck hope you feelbetter soonWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your guardian can claim for support on your behalf and if you go to the medical clinic for examinations, they will provide free medication and even free spectacles!.

Do you still live at home!? Maybe you and your mum could go to your local Citizen's Advice Bureau to see what support would be available to you!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could try and claim income support but they don't usually give it to under 18's unless you live alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
