Help with the cost of cancer audiobook
This audiobook is about getting financial help if you are affected by cancer in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
A cancer diagnosis can change your financial situation. It may mean you need to stop working, or work less. It can also mean spending more money on things like hospital parking. But depending on your situation, you may be able to get benefits or other financial support. This audiobook explains the types of financial help you could get and how to claim this support. It also tells you who to contact for further help, including our welfare rights advisers.
