    Hi,

    Which benefits are you getting at the moment? Universal Credit with LCWRA?

    What elements does your UC include? Have you been through the work capability assessment?

    What was the decision on that?

    UC has replaced all other means tested benefits apart from council tax reduction. If you’re not already claiming that you can put in a claim.

    I see from a previous thread you’ve asked about PIP. As advised on that thread it’s not awarded based on any diagnosis. Whether there’s any entitlement will depend on how your conditions affect you.
