There's no benefits automatically paid because of a disability. You can look at claiming PIP (unless you live in Scotland) but whether there's any entitlement will depend on how your conditions affect affect you against the 12 PIP activities.You must have had the difficulties for at least 3 months. You can see the descriptors here. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/Migrated_Documents/adviceguide/pip-9-table-of-activities-descriptors-and-points.pdfThere's more information here. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pipFor any other benefits then it will depend on your circumstances and you haven't given any information for anyone to be able to give any advice.Are you currently working or claiming SSP from an employer? Do you live with a partner, if so do they work?
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. -
