Uk Or Scotland Specific: What Government Support Is Available?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Edinburgh, UK

I've been talking about how my health situation is getting worse
And I'm currently unable to work. The max I could possibly do is freelancing on rare occassions atm.
So I've started looking into what government things are in place.
For example I've applied for Adult Disability Payment, which is the new version of PIP where I'm located.
But are there other things I should be looking into?
Thanks in advance!
