I would start with a benefits calculator turn2us has a good user friendly one
or look on scope site under benefitshttps://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/benefits/
and then maybe go to an organisation like Citizens Advice, or a local disability specific charity with a benefits advisor
you can search on advice now website for local services too

Hello @kph
I see our community has shared links to the various benefits calculators. Did they help?
