There's no benefits automatically paid because of a disability. You can look at claiming PIP (unless you live in Scotland) but whether there's any entitlement will depend on how your conditions affect affect you against the 12 PIP activities.

You must have had the difficulties for at least 3 months. You can see the descriptors here. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/Migrated_Documents/adviceguide/pip-9-table-of-activities-descriptors-and-points.pdf

There's more information here. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip

For any other benefits then it will depend on your circumstances and you haven't given any information for anyone to be able to give any advice.

Are you currently working or claiming SSP from an employer? Do you live with a partner, if so do they work?

Hello and welcome @rayc73 and thanks for your query, I'm sorry to hear about your accident at work, how are things for you now with work?

I see Poppy has replied with some useful links, is there anything else you're still unsure about or need help with?

Have you looked into claiming Industrial Injuries Benefit?

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
