Hi Pixie,
Welcome to the community. I hope we can help. Are you currently applying for any benefits?
We have a benefits calculator that might help you work out what you are entitled. It can be incredibly confusing. If it would be easy to talk to someone - you can ring our helpline for free on 0808 800 3333 (9-5).
Thanks.
