Do you mean practical help and assistance, financial or all types of help @maxiflirt37? It would also be based upon what sort of help you need. Being disabled alone doesn't usually mean anything as disability is a spectrum.

Welcome to the community @maxiflirt37
This is the post I made for you- I hope you manage to find it okay!
I'd also be interested in hearing a little more about what kind of support you're looking for. For example, practical support, financial support, or emotional support, and so on?

Any help or support would be greatBamboo said:Do you mean practical help and assistance, financial or all types of help @maxiflirt37? It would also be based upon what sort of help you need. Being disabled alone doesn't usually mean anything as disability is a spectrum.

Do you claim any benefits at all @maxiflirt37?
You could try using a benefits calculator (Turn2Us) to see what you might be entitled to claim.
Do you mind me asking how old your daughter is?

Anything that’s available

Edited, seen your above reply.

Do you receive LCWRA on your Universal Credit?
-
What’s LCWRA please
-
LCWRA is short for Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity. It is an additional element paid on top of your Universal Credit entitlement if you meet the criteria. The extra monthly amount for this is £354.28, it also means you don't have to look for work.
What is your Universal Credit made up of and have you ever been assessed as LCW/LCWRA? -
I don’t have to look for work as I’m classed at disabled myself not sure on assessment for LCW
-
If you were found to have LCW then as you know there's no extra money for this. I'm assuming it's your daughter that you claim DLA for? Does her care include wither mid/high rate? If so then you can claim carers element of UC for looking after her, if you don't already. This will increase your maximum UC by £168.81/month.If it's help in daily life you're asking for then you can refer yourself for a needs assessment from your local Authority. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/getting-a-needs-assessment/
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. -
