About this booklet
This booklet is for health and social care professionals. It aims to help you support people living with cancer with work-related concerns and give them useful guidance. The booklet suggests relevant questions you could ask them, recommends responses and lists further sources of support.

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
How we can help
There are lots of benefits that could help you after a cancer diagnosis, but the system can be confusing. Our Welfare Rights Advisors are here to help.
