help with benefits

Hi all, I have never had to claim benefits before but I have recently been signed off sick and I am not in employment any longer due to redundancy, I didnt get alot of redundancy so it is fastly runnning out.

I am claiming employment support allowance, which is 60 a week. I was wondering if anyone knew whether I was entitled to claim anything else?
thanks in advance
