Hi Shascissorhands1

Sorry you are in this situation, unfortunately it is and always has been difficult for self employed people,

I am not able to offer any guidance with regards claims, but I do suggest you call or go into your local Citizens advice Bureau.they can offer advice and will help you all they can.... The last thing you need after 3 major opps is more stress.

Wishing you a speedy recovery jj

Hi,

You should be entitled to PPI which isn't means tested, so won't be taken away once you start working again - unless you make a full recovery.

MacMillan have an arrangement with DWP which enables many people with cancer to be fast tracked through the system. MacMillan may have a benefits advisor in your area - just check on their website. CAB are good too but MacMillan specialise in benefits for cancer patients.

Good luck

Dave
