Nothing to stop you claiming welfare benefits, such as Council Tax Benefit, Child Tax Credit (if appropriate) Working Tax Credit and if you are renting, Housing Benefit.
In addition, if you or your partner have a disability, you can make a claim for Disability Living Allowance - there are two elemnets to this - care and mobility and both are graded into three allowances, depending upon the degree of disability/need
