  • Hello, and thank you for contacting us.

    I'm sorry your friend has concerns about money at this time.

    Do have a look at our page on financial support, and Macmillan has a benefits advice team who you can call.

    In your friend's hospital there may be a Macmillan Centre or a Maggie's where they can advise and support you with form-filling. Also, your friend's specialist nurse (CNS) may be able to help.

    Citizens advice branches can also help people with finding out about any financial assistance or benefits advice.

    I hope this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
