She may qualify for PIP which is NOT means tested, so is given whether in work or not. Your local MacMillan may have an advisor who can help. If she does qualify, it will be backdated to the date of her diagnosis.

There is more info on the CRUK website - I'd send you the link but I'm on a train with a dodgy mobile signal.

Many thanks for your reply :-D

There is generally a waiting period before PIP can be claimed but this is not always the case (my partner jad stage  4 from the start. The seriousness of the diagnosis meant that they could have claimed immediately. The claim is dated from when the form is despatched, so, the sooner you call the better. If you eligible then the more weeks that you claim, them obviously it is to your advantage. 

Good kuck.
