Disability Living Allowance, which comprises two components - Mobility and Care - is a godsend. If you are on the higher of the two mobility rates you are eligible for a Motobility vehicle.
There is also a Severe Disablement Allowance you can claim. If you go to www.dwp.gov.uk and follow the links for Disability Living Allowance you will get all the info you need plus you can apply online I think.
DLA is not means tested and is not counted when being considered for other benefits.
Hope this helps!

What sort of "severe disability" are you talking about? What sort of rights do you want to know about? If it is benefits you are interested in then its the Department of Work and Pensions you need to speak to.
There are many different kinds of help available from the government. If you can't give more details on here your local citizens advice bureau should be able to help or your GP

I am not sure exactly what your question is.
However, being disabled myself, if you want to call it 'benefits'...a disabled person gets Social Security, S.S.I. if their income is below their standards, food stamps if below their level.

Can you be a bit more specific, what do you want to know?
