Hello
Thanks for getting in touch. There may be some help available but for this, you’d need to speak to our Welfare Rights Team.
They don’t have a presence on Ask an Expert at the moment but can speak to you by phone 0808 808 0000 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday or 9am to 5pm at the weekend. Or you could speak to them on webchat by selecting ‘Chat to us’ and selecting the Welfare Benefits and Grants option. For that call, please have some information about your and your partner’s finances ready, including income from all sources so state benefits and outgoings, such as mortgage/rent, council tax and fuel bills.
If you have other concerns relating to finances, like mortgage payments or claiming on an insurance policy for instance, please come back to the Financial Guides on here, or on webchat, or by phoning us on 0808 808 0000.
All the very best for your partner’s treatment and do stay in touch if you need further support.
