Hi @Barry35, and a warm welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear this- if you're in employment it may be worth considering whether there are any reasonable adjustments that could be made to make things safer for you. Otherwise, do check out the online benefits calculator- this will show you what you may be able to claim. You can also find a PIP self-test here. Have a look, and feel free to come back to us with any questions!
