I have skin cancer. I was diagnosed with Gorlin syndrome, and the cancer is linked to that. I am going to have this for the rest of my life. I am looking to find out if there are any benefits I can claim. I already have UC.

Hello Bex23
I'm sorry to hear that you're living with Gorlin syndrome and that you've already been diagnosed with skin cancer because of this.
I'd suggest getting in touch with Macmillan as they have a team that specialises in benefits and financial support information. Hopefully they will be able to give you some advice to help with your query.
Best wishes,

Thank you I have already been in contact with them and they can't do anything because I already get UC. I thought I would get something I also have a Autistic daughter with her medical needs and she has Gorlin Syndrome.I am a single pparenti just thought I would get a bit more help because I have just had surgery.
It may be worth getting in touch with Citizens Advice then as well Bex23 to see if they can help with some advice and support regarding your financial situation.
Best wishes,
