Ok,I tripped up escorting my 90yr old neighbor across the road.Is that one ok

Worked for 40 years,least I've contributed,why shouldn't I try to get something back

I've broken my schapoid bone in my wrist and f**k*d my ligament after a fall pissed up.Got a pot on,so can't work.Am I entitled to any benefits,I'm self employed.
