If you’re struggling with the cost of living, you should check if you can claim benefits or increase your current benefits.
You might be able to claim certain benefits even if you work, have savings or own a home.

But Labour want this to happen to us, it's to punish us for not being Tories.
They won't budge, they'll ignore all the stories of suffering, they'll lose the next election and still think they 'did the right thing'*

Actions speak louder than words. Your employer has shown, quite eloquently, what it thinks about you. I would act accordingly.
If you're in the UK, it might be worth a call to #CitizensAdvice, just to see if a formal diagnosis is really necessary. Unfortunately, their page on the subject doesn't make it clear.
If CA says you have a case then I'd take the most conciliatory route possible by going back to HR before considering a legal claim.
