    Hi

    I have had cancer of the adrenal gland that lead to major surgery, had a quadruple heart bypass, that lead to more major surgery, because of the surgeries and meds, I am now type 2 diabetic other than that I'm OK.

    I would just like to know if there are any entitlements that I can claim, as no one will say unless you ask, and no one tells you who to ask.

    so if you could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

    Hi,

    Benefits entitlement is based more on circumstances than specific conditions.

    Are you still able to work? Do you have capital over £16,000?

    Is your daily life considerably impacted by the Type 2 Diabetes or any of your other conditions?
