Are we entitled to any benefits or any other help?

Hi, My husband has metastatic prostate cancer. He has had his prostate has been removed as well as most of him lymph nodes. He can not now get an erection because of this. He has had radio therapy and is now on 3 monthly injections and enzalutamide. The tablets have changed him completely and he now has a really bad memory, he lacks enthusiasm to do anything at all.. and falls asleep at the drop of a hat.. I have to remember everything for him and remind him about stuff all the time. With this in mind are we entitled to any help financially or otherwise. He is 61 and I am 51.

  • Hi he should try for pip, and you both try for attendance allowance, have a word with carers first for help with things or macmillan Cancer care.
