Hi @joelock, and welcome to the community!
You mentioned your son had been diagnosed, do you mind me asking what he has been diagnosed with? Then ourselves and our friendly community members can do our best to help you.
There is no register for disability, so this isn't something you need to consider. However, you may like to check out the online benefits calculator to see if there is anything you can claim. Have a look, and do come back to us with any questions! -
@joelock, hope you are feeling welcome to the community and if we know what your sons diagnosis is I am sure you will find help from the community members.
