There are a lot of posts about benefits and money on here. These can be very tricky to answer without knowing a lot more about you.
To try to help, next month we have Suzette here from Carers UK to answer benefits and money questions - particularly questions about carers - healthunlocked.com/mencap/p...
There are also many excellent websites out there with lots of information about claiming benefits. Turn2us is particularly good, and they even have an online benefits calculator. Have a look here - turn2us.org.uk/Get-Support
