The cancer payment from the DLA has nothing to do with how much you are earning or have in savings, it's a payment to help you deal with the cost of having cancer.  Our McMillan nurse sorted ours out, talk to them.  Carol 

Hi Carol I've been asking around not many know about the payment so thought I'd reply to send back to start. Love Billy xxx 

HI, what is the cancer payment please?

Hi parkie were only just figuring it out, it's a payment from the government to people with cancer, it usto be done through the DLA i understand that macmillan can help to sort it out. Good luck....... Billy 

Hi parkie

I get Personal Indepedence Payment (PIP) which I believe has replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA).

The payment is between £23 and £149 per week. You can find more information online at www.gov.uk/pip

I am still working full time and didn't realise I would be entitled to this. I would suggest giving Macmillan a call as they completed the application on my behalf and provided all the relevant medical information. They can also give advice on other financial support you may be entitled to.
