That has been my experience for at least a decade they will not tell you about any benefit you do not ask about. It is wrong and people should be told and helped but we all know why this is done and that is not going to change anytime soon whatever government comes in because we now need to save money more then ever.

JobCentre Plus are the wrong people to ask (being JobCentres, basically) - you need to contact ( online or by phone) the Disability and Carers Service of the DWP, not the JCP - whilst it should be joined up, it isn't.
But even they need to know what the issues/specific areas you are looking at are, as there as some many different benefits and levels - it's like going to a railway station and asking what trains are available; the first question you will get will be "where are you going?".
