(2 Posts)You would be entitled to DLA, it's not means tested and is based on care needs.
The best thing would be to ring and order the form. Be warned though, it is evil! You will want to include all paperwork from pead, SALT, TA etc with it.

Come back when you are doing the form or search the archives there is loads of fab advice here.
Hope this Helps
