    You could try a local advice agency, or a benefits calculator.

    From the benefits you have mentioned, I can't see that anything will change.

    Any single person Council Tax Discount will end, and possibly Council Tax Relief might be reduced.

    Are you currently living alone or with other adults? If alone does your dad currently claim a disability benefit himself such as PIP daily living, DLA mid/high rate care or AA?
