‘When I was first diagnosed I was completely lost. But sitting down and speaking to Emma gave me direction.’ With Emma’s help, Lloyd successfully applied for a range of benefits.

"Not having to rush back to work allowed me to recover instead of worrying about paying my bills."
‘If it wasn’t for Emma doing her job I would have settled for the first payment because I knew very little about the benefits system.’
Lloyd has now been clear of cancer for three years – but he won’t forget the support Emma gave him. ‘Emma’s help has meant the world to me recovering. She deserves a gold medal.’
