Personal Health Budget

Hello,
Could anyone help with advice on Personal Health Budgets?
I have spina bifida, I am on higher rate DLA for both personal & mobility care.
And, joint ESA claim with my husband.
However, we are struggling. I need assistance with other daily necessities that we cannot afford. We have tried to pay for various services ourselves (cleaning services, someone to help when my husband needs time for himself etc.)
Can anyone please help with advice?
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Denz, and welcome to the community!
There are some great suggestions above, and you may also find this information sheet on PHBs useful. It might also be worth checking the online benefits calculator to see if there's anything else you may be eligible for.1
