Hi Andy,

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis - I hope they get a successful treatment plan in place quickly for her.

Please contact Macmillan who are great at helping with advice regarding finances, benefits etc. Here is their website www.macmillan.org.uk/.../your-finances

One point, if your wife has critical illness insurance, depending on the Stage of her cancer, she may be able to claim it.

Good luck,

Angie

Thank you Angie, it’s a shame we have to think about money at a time like this but unfortunately it is a fact.

It certainly is and it's just more stress you can do without. You will find Macmillan very helpful.

Hi MilesAS  sorry you've found yourself here, if you are below pension age you should be able to get yourself official carer and get paid, also you might get money off council rates but it takes time loads of paperwork, good luck getting it sorted and good luck to your wife,.. Billy       just a thought see if wife can get attendance allowance,
