So i can advise you i'll need some information please because otherwise i'm unable to be able to help you further.Firstly, how long has she been in hospital for? Also is she a single person, live with a partner that works or claims any other benefits? does she have dependent children? Before going into hospital did she work at all?I'll happily advise you further once you've answered those questions.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
