What allowances would my sister with stage 3 lung cancer be entitled to?

Hello there just after a bit of advice my sister has stage 3lung cancer and has had to go into a care home as she cannot look after herself she is self funded but is still entitled to attendance allowance are there any other allowances she may be entitled to ?

  • Welcome to the forum Kambo although I'm sorry to hear your sister has had to go in to a care home. This must be very difficult time for you and your family.

    We have some information about the financial support your sister may be able to claim to on our website, but for further information and advice it may be worth getting in touch with Macmillan or Citizen's Advice as they are in a better position to advise.

    I hope this helps in the meantime, and that you receive some support and advice from our members soon.

    Kind regards,
