Sorry to hear but in case anyone has problems below are some links that
people may find helpful: some of the benefits are very restrictive and
the area can be a mine field. If anyone reading this has a concern /
question please get proper advice (eg Citizens Advice) sooner rather
than later

www.adviceguide.org.uk: (lots of information but two in particular)
        for debts see ur1.ca/nm1w
        for tax-free benefits ur1.ca/nm24
Consumer Advice
        Energy Debts    ur1.ca/whu6
        Priority Service Register ur1.ca/obs4
General money: www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk
Reduced telephone line rental ur1.ca/p6oj
General benefit checker: can be helpful but the devil is in the details
        www.entitledto.co.uk
        DirectGov ur1.ca/vocv
Entitlement to statepensions: ur1.ca/o7qi
Wrong time of year but www.warmfront.co.uk
