Hey @boyblue, welcome to the community 😊 Congrats for joining in! It can be a big step. Also, don't worry about being confused or unsure about benefits. You definitely are not alone with this.
You may already know this but I'll go over our benefits categories
Universal Credit (UC) - For any questions or discussions about Universal Credit, including eligibility, how to claim, and assessment processes such as the Work Capability Assessment (WCA)
.
PIP, DLA, and AA - For questions or discussions about Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Disability Allowance (DLA), and Attendance Allowance (AA). Also Adult Disability Payment (ADP) in Scotland.
Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) - For questions or discussions about ESA, any assessment processes, eligibility, and more.
Benefits and income - A category for questions or discussions about any benefit or related topic.
If you have more than one question feel free to start multiple discussions in the appropriate categories!
