Hi could anyone tell me if my 80 year old Mother can claim any extra benefits. We found out end of December she has lung cancer and has just started treatment! Thanks
I am very sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis. It certainly sounds as if your Mum should qualify for some sort of non-contributary benefit. She may also qualify for additional benefits, depending upon the amount of her savings and pension. Macmillan can help you with this. They often have advice centres situated in hospitals. If they don't in your Mum's hospital, contact them and they will visit to sort this out.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on . We are always here for you both.
