Diagonsed with Cancer - Benefits

Hi, last week i was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, i was told by the oncologist that i am entitled to certain benefits such a Disability Living Allowance?, even though myself and my wife both work. I am currently on sick leave (on full pay) and we have a combined income of approx £35-37k PA. (We also own our own home).

I have tried to look on the internet and i am not sure if i am entitled to any, or even how to go about claiming for them? I did do a benefits estimation calculation the the direct gov website and it states that i may be entitled to working tax credits of £89.53 per week which seems a lot to me?

Obviously I know that nobody can say i am entitled to them on here, but if somebody could help me with any advice or direct me to any website which could help me please

Thanks,
