Completely depends on your circumstances. The main disability benefit for adults is called Personal Independence Payment. Do you work or do you claim Universal Credit?

PIP- https://www.gov.uk/pip

Hello and good morning @LoisHowell thanks for reaching out with your query, have you been able to recover from the removal of your tumour? 

Scope's website has plenty of information on how to find out about disability benefits you might be eligible for, as well as how to apply. I hope this is useful for you

Please let us know if we can help further with anything, and enjoy looking around the forum in your own time.
