Fired from Currys, what are my next steps/advice?

Hi all,

I've been fired from Currys, or rather my probation has been ended after working there since September.

I have Chronic UTI'S, ASD/ADHD, Hypermobility and other health problems which have prevented me from standing all day in a shop and working to my full extent. I've dislocated my knee multiple times on shift, thrown up in the bathrooms due to burnout related anxiety, etc.

I'm at fault as to why they fired me, that's no doubt. I'm not blaming them as they accommodated my health issues, but ended my probation. They used to underpay my overtime anyway so I'm not bothered.

Regardless this allows me to focus on college, and with countless job experience I should be fine in the future. I don't know what to do now though, every job I seem to get my attendance is just awful, I really want to better myself. I'm looking into online/freelance jobs again as I was getting paid 200 a week for 12 hrs work which was brilliant and I could do it from home.

Until then, do I keep on the hunt and apply for UC/LCWRA in the meantime?

Thanks all.
