Hi again

It all depends on your circumstances

Try a benefits calculator so you can enter all your information you can find one on gov website

Do you claim pip at all which is a separate disability benefit

Unfortunately benefits take time to be reviewed, assessed and decisions made, they also have to be processed in line with regulations, add to that the lack of staff, resources and the pandemic, it’s just a waiting game I’m afraid.

Pip claims are taking an estimated 10 months to complete

Some are quicker depends on backlogs in the area but I wouldn't rely on a quick process

If you have broadband/telephone. You may want to consider look at BT. As they recently brought out a new package for ppl on UC called BT Basic Essentials. I just transferred to package. And have no issues
