My father in law has cancer and is on basic pension he is struggling financially and also not looking after himself. Is there any benefit he could claim and help he could receive. He doesn't have a lot of help so any advice would be appreciated.

  • Hello and thank you for posting 

    Macmillan has a financial support team who can go through any benefits that your father in law may be suitable for. 

    There is information on their website as well as a helpline.

    It may be that your father-in-law has a specialist nurse (CNS) or a Maggies/Macmillan centre where he is being treated who would also be aware of this information.

    Take care and if you want to discuss things with one of the nurses on our helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
