How to know what to claim

Hi

My friend has been diagnosed with a glioblastoma, we are waiting to find out if it is grade 3 or 4. He has had to close his business and is now not allowed to drive. He lives alone usually.

Can anyone tell me where to start to get some financial support/benefits please? Thanks x

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's diagnosis. It's obviously a very difficult time. 

    I can see that Wendy33 has already given you some good advice about the Gov.uk website and I wanted to let you know that it's worth getting in touch with Macmillan as they have a specialist benefits and financial support team who will also be able to help. 

    There's also lots of useful information on The Brain Tumour website as well. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,
