Hi everyone just joined today, I have a grandson with Autism and a daughter who suffered two pulmonary embolisms and a cardiac arrest at the age of 42 and now has front lobal brain damage causing her to have no short term memory so advise on benefits etc would be welcome as we have never claimed anything before as we are a working family.

Hi Volunteering and welcome
You don't say how old your grandson is
If he is under 16 then you might look at DLA

Your Daughter might qualify for PIP if she has difficulty in daily activities or mobility
Have a look at the B&W self test
