I have finished work today, I start chemo on Monday.

I am having 8 weeks of chemo, 8 weeks rest, then the operation to remove my oesophagus.

Can anyone tell what benefits I will be entitled to? 

Thanks paul

    Not certain what you will get as cases are individual depending on your prognosis. It takes about 3 months from them receiving your application before you get informed from DWP of how much and for how long.im still waiting for my letter from them and I applied 21st January.
