    Hi Michael,

    If you're in the UK and there's a MacMillan service in the area contact them.

    In Warrington MacMillan have a benefits advisor who handled my PIP claim for me. There's a fast track process which applies to many people with cancer and avoids the need for a physical assessment. 

    The Citizens Advice Bureau may also be able to help.

    Good luck
