I'm not qualified to answer your question directly, but we have excellent people here who will be in touch with you in due course.
For the moment you might like to try our online benefits calculator to try to get an idea of your possible entitlements.
Do stay in touch and don't hesitate to ask us or tell us anything further.

A warm welcome.
Could I suggest you contact your Macmillan nurse, as I am sure they have their own Welfare Advisers. You really need to go through a complete benfits review, so nothing is missed.
You could request a home visit, if you are unable to attend.
Best wishes
