Hi @Howie_T, welcome to the community! Great to have you here.
Benefits are awarded based on how your conditions affect your life, rather than the conditions/diagnosis themselves. Try putting your details into the online benefits calculator, which can give an indication of what you may be able to claim, and do come back to us with any questions! -
Thank you I will check them out now.
