Hi @H67, welcome to the community!
Have you had a look at whether you would be entitled to Personal Independence Payment? Here is a handy PIP self assessment tool where you can check your eligibility: http://www.mybenefitsandwork.co.uk/pip/indexxx.php
We also have a useful benefits calculator that might give you an idea of what you can claim.
I hope this helps!
