Hello all. Hope your well. 
Just a bit about me. 
I'm 34 and am a specialist in micro expressions and body language but am now unable to work due to disabilities. I live alone with 3 parrots. I am on pip and uc. 
Am just wondering if any of you know If i am entitled to a carer or how i would go about getting one please. Sorry I'm new to all this benifit stuff. 
Thank you xx

@loulou15 hi I'm sorry to hear you are now physically unwell. Have you tried contacting your local citizens advice bureau? I hope you enjoy the forum and find it helpful. Take care.

HI and welcome,

I'm one of the community champions here on scope and i'm here to help and advise others.

The first step to getting some help will be to have a needs assessment done and you can refer yourself for this. There's no guarantee's that you will be given any support but if you don't try then you'll never know.
