Disability living allowance, incapacity benefit or severe disablement allowance and an income support top up. Along with this you should get housing benefit and council tax benefits. They may not agree to you having disability benefits, but if your disability is severe enough to interrupt with your daily living activities, than by law you are entitled. Call your local DSS to get the forms for income support, incapacity and severe disablement allowance and call 08457 123456 for disability living allowance. Good luck. P.S severe disablement allowance and disability aliving allowance are non means tested, so it is not based on income. However, income support, housing benefit and council tax benefit is, therefore they will look at how much income you have and work out what you are entitled to. It may be alot or it may be nothing.

I have epilepsy and live in the UK. I work full time. However, I do have a free prescription certificate for my medication as you are entitled to one if you need medication to lead a "normal" life. Other then that I guess it depends upon how bad you are and whether you can work or not. As far as I know if you are capable of working you can't just claim benefits because life handed you a rough deal if you see what I mean.
Thats was not meant to be detrimental to anyone with epilepsy as I have it myself!

It's a hard one this cos technically you can claim disability living allowance but you really have toprove you are in danger of fitting at any time and you are not controlled by medication. Best advice is to speak to your local welfare rights.
