definitely play with the entitledto website - i have done that on behalf of my parents.

they rent and so even with state pensions and a private one, they will still get £100+ a month in housing + council tax benefit (and that is with some savings).

do you think you might qualify for disability living allowance or there is also a disabled working tax credit or similar too?
