• WEATHER UPDATE: The FORCE Cancer Support and Information Centre will close to drop-ins at 3pm today (Thursday November 21). Our normal opening times are 9:30am to 4:30pm weekdays (except Bank Holidays), no appointment needed.

Benefits advice

Living with cancer can have a significant impact on your finances so FORCE and our partners at Citizens Advice offer free guidance on claiming benefits.

Please call the Support and Information Team at FORCE on 01392 406151 to book an appointment with our Benefits Advisor, Mike Watson.

Advice is available to patients and carers.

If you’re earning less because your work pattern is affected, face increased costs from being at home more or extra outlay from the need to access treatment, get in touch.

There is financial support available from Government and charitable sources. We can help you claim any benefits you may be entitled to and assist with completing forms and accessing additional support.

Benefits advice

Here to support you...
