Help with finance

Still dealing with after effects of radiotherapy after stage 2 breast cancer op, suffering with dizziness, visual problems, brain fog and walking imparement, waiting on ct scan and  have found another dimple on my other breast which is pending screening etc, the problem is my employer has paid me as much as is in their sickness policy but I wondered if there is any other enhancements available as ssp isn't enough for our household?

  • Hi you can go on www.gov.uk and there is a benefit calculator on there called entitledto.  If you put your and your partner's details in, it will tell you if you can claim anything.  You can claim new style ESA but only when your SSP stops.  Have you claimed PIP which is not a means tested benefit?  Citizens Advice are good as well.  Good luck.
