    Hi Mandy

    A warm welcome.

    Could I suggest you contact your Macmillan nurse, as I am sure they have their own Welfare Advisers.  You really need to go through a complete benfits review, so nothing is missed.

    You could request a home visit, if you are unable to attend.

    Best wishes

    ESA (Employment and Support Allowance), but there may be more specialised benefits that I'm not aware of for cancer sufferers...
