Hi Buffy69 there are things you can claim, are you working or have you been working?  I worked in benefits for 21 years and have breast cancer too.

Hi Buffy69 there are things you can claim, are you working or have you been working?  I worked in benefits for 21 years and have breast cancer too.

Im a carer for my mother and I claim carers allowance

Hi Buffy,  if you go onto www.gov.uk and type in benefit calculator there is one called EntitledTo and if you put all your information in there it will tell you what and if you can claim benefit.  The obvious main benefit is Universal Credit but if you have a partner who is working it depends on the wage coming in as they take the household income in to account.   Also cant claim it if you have savings over £16 000.  The other benefit is PIP but that depends on how long you have been unwell and also how it affects your daily life.  Most information can be found on the gov website.  Also Macmillan can do it for you.  Some water companies offer discount etc.  Let me know if I can help you.
