Hi @designleo, and welcome to the community!
Sorry to hear about your situation. It may be a good idea to check the online benefits calculator to check that you're claiming all you're entitled to, and this list of extra help PIP entitles you to may also be of interest. You may also like to search for grants you may be eligible for, if you're struggling financially.
