    Ring your local Welfare Rights office or CAB they are usually very helpful and understanding.

    What you maybe able to claim will depend on your circumstances. With very little information other than disabilities then it's impossible to help further.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Does your son have a social worker or similar who can help you with this? Does your wife have access to help via hospital ?
