I have been told by a lady I was just in Hospital with that there is a Benefit I can get just because I have Cancer. I have not heard of this before. Does anyone else know about it and if so What it is called please. Xxxxxx
She was probably talking about Personal Independence Payments (PIP). It isn't means tested, so it doesn't matter how much you earn or have in the bank, but there are certain medical criteria you have to meet. If you have advanced cancer (Stage 4) there is a fast track process you can go on. Your local MacMillan team may have a benefits advisor who can help get this sorted out quickly.
