    Hi Donna122
    if you are in support group esa you may be able to claim Personal Independance Payments If you have physical or mental health problems I would advise you to contact your local jobcentre for advice.If you are not comfortable with this try CAB for further help.
    There is also a benefits calculator on the Benefits and Work website.

    You may be able to get council tax relief, if awarded PIP you can get a blue badge also if you are claimed certain benefits the larger power companies run a warm front scheme where if you meet the criteria a £140 is credited to your electric bill account.
