Hi @Jesai
A warm welcome to our community.
I am sorry to hear that your recent diagnosis is making you feel worried,
I would suggest Scope's Benefits calculator page as a starting point.
I have also placed your post in the What benefits am I entitled to? section where someone will be along to offer you further advice.
I hope this helps you.
