Hi @Kayleigh42 welcome to the community. We have a benefits calculator that you can use to see what benefits you could be entitled to.
PIP is the first one that comes to mind and you can do a PIP self test to see if you could be entitled to that.
I know it can be difficult to claim anything for ulcerative colitis and crohns as it comes in waves of flare ups and remission but with all your other impairments combined you may have a better chance.
We also have lots of information about work, finding work, your rights and support you could get.Scope
