You can, but it depnds on how severe you are.

If you need supervison walking outside, you can get lower rate mobility.
If you need help cooking a main meal for yoursel, you can get lower rate care.
If you need help with other stuff e.g. washing and dressing, you may be able to get middle rate care.

I would ask for help filling in the form from a relevant professional (e.g. anoccupational therapist or social worker who works with disabled adults.) Your local citizens' advice bureau should be able to help you find someone to talk to.
