It should be stressed that even if you have one of these conditions/disabilities - it isn't an automatic right that you are entitled to any benefits or care (e.g DLA, IB etc). Each claim is dealt with on an individual basis by the relevant government department. These are links for support, advice and organisations to which you can turn to for help.
