You maybe entitled to PIP which is a non means tested and in work benefit. Have a read of this thread here regarding applying. You can get short or long term awards but you must have been affected for 3 months and expected to continue for 9 months plus. It's not awarded based on diagnosis but on how you are affected.
You can also apply for a CEA card to give a free cinema ticket to carer. The entitlement is listed on the site but I do know they accept Industrial Injuries which isn't listed if you ring them. £6 annual fee.
There is also an access card you can apply for. Again entitlement on website and it uses Icons to alert providers to accommodations you might need £15 for 3 years.
