We know that money is a big and often difficult thing to talk about when you’re living with cancer. You may earn less if you need to stop working or reduce your hours. You may also need to spend more on things like heating or travelling to hospital.
Our specialist money advisers can give you free and confidential advice and help you to find out what benefits and financial support you might be entitled to. We can help you with:
- a full benefits check to see what you are entitled to apply for
- questions about different benefits such as Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- completing benefit application forms
- challenging decisions on benefit claims
Money advisers are available Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. We recommend having any information about your household income or medical conditions with you before speaking with an adviser.
