• The FORCE Support and Information Centre is open every weekday from 9:30am to 4:30pm (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...

Since 2008, the FORCE Benefits Advice Service has enabled cancer patients and their families to claim more than £20 million. We are here to help, so please get in touch 01392 406151 or support@forcecancercharity.co.uk.
