which region do you live in? you need expert benefits advice - your local citizen's advice bureau would be the best place to start with. You should certainly apply for the Personal Independence Payment (replaced Disability Living Allowance), but there will also be help with housing - Housing Benefit etc. Or a social worker would also help. Good luck, and sorry to hear your plight.
