Hi ShonaT40
I'm not sure which benefits you have applied for. Employment and Support Allowance is an earnings replacement benefit for people who can't work. It is meant to cover your basic expenses such as food, gas, electricity etc. Personal Independence Payment is for people aged between 16 and 65 who have day to day difficulties as a result of a health condition or disability. The two can be claimed at the same time or just one or other at a time. There are other benefits and it might be worth getting a calculation done on the entitled to website here.
The most important thing is to make a claim and then consider challenging the decision if the initial outcome is negative. This is because a significant proportion of negative decisions are later changed. You usually have to challenge a decision within one month but it can sometimes be done late. For general information on these benefits see the Scope pages here.
If we can help further do let us know.
