I have multiple disabilities from heart problems, PTSD, cancer, hurnia and blind in one eye thanks to being attacked, breathing/mobility difficulties I'm struggling to get benefits that I'm entitled to.

What things out there that's available for someone who is in my position and what local groups etc are there for disabled people in the area

    @Rocky1

    Hi and a very warm welcome to the community.

    Why are you struggling to get the benefits you are "entitled" to?

    What benefits did you apply for and what reasons did dwp turn you down on?

    Your local Citizens Advice should be able to assist you.

    PIP is a disability benefit. The other benefit would be either New style ESA or Universal Credit, do you know which one it was?

    Hi @Rocky1, have you ever used a benefits calculator? Sometimes that can help give you an idea of what you might be entitled to 😊
