I have a son 57yrs diagnosedwith ME, finding difficulty in getting help/advice from medical staff.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how he can obtain financial assistance?

    Hi @bargepole84
    Hope you are having a lovely evening 
    I am sure a benefits adviser will be along soon. In the meantime you could speak to CAB or look on their website for more information
    best wishes

    Hello @bargepole84, is your son receiving PIP? 

    Have you had a look at our online benefits calculator? It’s a handy tool which can help you figure out which benefits you can apply for.
