Charlie Callanan provides a guide to the statutory and charitable assistance available to patients and their families

Many patients undergoing treatment for, or affected by, cancer will incur unforeseen expenditure, such as extra travel costs, assistance with activities of daily living or fuel bills. Some patients and/or their carers may be unable to continue in their jobs. This article outlines the benefits and allowances that families may be entitled to claim.
