See: https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/how-to-declare-yourself-bankruptFree debt advice: https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/tools/debt-advice-locatorI've seen StepChange in particular mentioned on this forumFrom the above sites, getting some free debt advice definitely seems advised, which I hope may help you.

Hi and welcome to the community, I am no expert on this but from reading on the internet a pension would be cassed as income but PIP wouldnt.
You should get expert advice though before doing anything contact CAB or welfare rights.
Other members may have more knowledge and I am sorry if ehat I have found is incorrect -
Hi @PopEye2 @janer1967 is I think correct that PIP won't be counted but SRP might be a great source of advice on this would the stepchange

Hi @PopEye2 and welcome to the online community
I hope the two posts above have provided you with some helpful advice and as @janer1967 says you can find useful information about managing finances over on Citizens Advice.
I'm sure more expert users on here will also be willing to give advice on this topic.
Again, welcome to the community, I hope to see you around here a lot more!
