there is no such thing as a disability register now.

You would be entitled to 25% reduction in council tax if you lived in the property alone.

anything else we cant help yu with as you have not given us enough information re working, earnings, property you will be renting etc.

Posting an SOA may help

Sorry, statement of affairs, i dont know where the link is for this but Im sure someone will come along and point you in the right direction. You list all your incomings and outgoings then the nice people on here try to help you cut down on things that you didnt know you were overspending on lol.

Would you be able to take in a lodger seeing as you will have 2 bedrooms
any housing benefit (which i believe is means tested) would be for a 12 bedroom only. (if you had a lodger you would pay full council tax

You won't get much help, if any at all. The fact that you have a disability is inconsequential - you aren't receiving benefits, therefore you cannot be disabled in the eyes of the law.

Why don't you share a house with someone? Certainly much cheaper than 400pcm.
