Patients and carers may earn less if their work pattern is affected. They may face increased costs from being at home more or extra outlay from the need to access treatment.

There is financial support available from Government and charitable sources. At our Support and Information Centre, in partnership with Citizens Advice, we can offer help in claiming benefits that you may be entitled to and assist with completing forms and accessing additional support.

Since 2008, our Benefits Advice Service has enabled cancer patients and their families to claim more than £10 million.

Appointments are necessary to see Benefits Advisor Mike Watson.
