Hi @Marieshorten
Welcome to the community!
I think you might find it useful to ask the benefit advisor your concerns. You can do this here

Hope this helps

Hi Marie,
Good to have you here. As well as our advisor, our site also has a benefits checker that might be useful: http://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/benefits/check
Let us know if you have any questions.
