I am trying to find out what benefits my sister is eligible for she had two operations for breast cancer had an intensive course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy she is living off a small payment from work as she was on sick pay but that ends shortly and i do not think she will be going back to work. I would be grateful for any information.

Hi,
If she's not going back to work she needs to put in a claim for universal credit, on top of that she should also claim separately for dla and pip x

Hello BNS
Just to add to the reply you've had from Elou67, I'd recommend having a look at the Macmillan website and contacting their financial support line. They'll certainly be able to talk to your sister about what options may be available to her.
Best wishes,
