Heya @paula001 and welcome to the community.  

Sorry to hear about your ill health, have you looked at a benefits calculator to see what you could claim?  Also just because you were denied PIP, it doesn't stop you from reapplying as they often turn people down at the start due to the forms not being filled in exactly as they want. How long ago did you try claiming for PIP?  You may still be able to put in for a mandatory reconsideration.
