I've lost part of my left index finger, but may as well lost all of it as I can't use it at all. Can I claim any disability allowance for it. It was due to a freak accident.

The disability payments are judged by how things affect your daily life. So there's no automatic payment for having X disease or Y disability. You need to look up personal indépendance payment scoring and see how you do. You have to score a minimum of 8 points, and I would have thought it unlikely that you would do that.
