Hi @paddypug, welcome to the community. You can find information about narcolepsy from the NHS here, and you might like to have a look at the charity Narcolepsy UK.
As regards benefits, try our benefits calculator, and if you have any further questions you can visit our 'Ask a benefits advisor' section.
