HI and welcome,You need to speak to your GP about your bladder problems.Financially, there's PIP but it's not awarded based on a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors.Relevant evidence will be needed to support your claim and a face to face assessment is most likely. A successfully claim could potentially take several months, maybe more. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/For anything else then it will depend on your circumstances and with no information it's impossible to advise further. I'd advise you to visit a local advice agency near you for a full benefits check.
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. -
