Hi @elmo1971 Welcome to the community glad you have joined us.
Unfortately without knowing a bit more about your circumstances it would be hard to comment on what benefits you are entitled to. It all depends on household income , your housing situation, when you worked etc
You can always use a benefits calculator to enter your details these are on the gov website r there is one on here under the benefits section
You couls also apply for PIP but that is dependant on how your condition affects your daily living against the descriptors. Again there is lots of information about PIP here
Have a look around and if there is anything you want to know just ask -
I am a carer fot my partner. We have no savings or property or incoming earnings. My parner is in receipt of high PIP for mobility and care. Plus ESA put will never be able to return to work. I am Carers Allowance and nothing else.

Thanks for the tag @janer1967Hi and welcome,I'm assuming you're living together as a couple, is that correct? If so then are you claim ESA as a couple? If you're not sure then it will be helpful to know how much ESA your partner receives every fortnight and then i'll be able to advise you further.
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.
