Hi @Gizmopeppie1962, welcome to the community! A good place to start would be to check the online benefits calculator: you input your details, and it will tell you what benefits you may be entitled to.

You also need to explore whether you might qualify for a disability benefit - if you're working age, this is Personal Independence Payment.
You can read about this on the website.
