We appreciate that during times of prolonged treatment, your finances can alter radically. Often, it is better to seek advice before taking action, as this may affect future entitlement to benefits etc.
If you are not sure whether you are entitled to any financial support or you are seeking general advice, you can request an appointment with our Macmillan Benefits Advisor. They can advise on whether you are entitled to any benefits and can even help with the application process. They can also signpost you to further advice or support.
The Benefits Advisor is also able to access a range of grants for those patients who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of their diagnosis or treatment. this can include help with travel costs to and from hospital if required. These grants include: Macmillan Cancer Support and The Plymouth and Cornwall Cancer Fund (these grants are means tested).
If you feel we can be of help, please discuss with a Support Specialist or self-refer to our Benefits Advisor using the link above. All appointments are currently taking place over the telephone.
