I know coverage of disability benefits can be very distressing. So, Iโ€™ve worked with colleagues to make a range of support visible on The Guardianโ€™s site.

If you click on a relevant news story, youโ€™ll see a โ€œdrop boxโ€ of signposted mental health help as well as benefits advice.

Also, thereโ€™s absolutely nothing wrong in not knowing something and having to Google it! The world is granular and weโ€™re all have different interests - one of the remaining good things about the internet is the easy access to knowledge it provides us..
