My husband has recently had a major stroke he is only 51. At the current time he has no use on his left hand side. Although he can walk using his hip his leg is numb. I have to work and have had to go on nights to be there during the day. We own our own house. The only benefit we can claim is pips for my husband any help or advice on any other benefits thank.you

Hi @pottypooh
welcome to the community, as Steve says, a good place to start is the online benefits calculator where you can fill in all your details and see what you could be entitled to.Scope
