Hi there, I am looking for some support for my Dad. He was diagnosed with prostrate cancer last year, had surgery to remove his prostrate and is now getting further treatment after his PSA result raised. He is getting hormone injections and will have 3 months of radiotherapy to follow.
He is self employed as a taxi driver and works around 60 hours a week. He has 3 private pensions from previous employment that equate to about 1k per month and my mum gets her state pension. I compl
ed a benefit calculator and it came back that he isn't entitled to Universal credit, but may be entitled to attendance allowance or PIP. He is working so much, I am worried his job is contributing this health issues. He doesn't take any time off. Is there anything available that hasn't been covered? Such as statutory sick pay for self employment? He won't know how the radiotherapy will affect m physically so may need to take some time off, but obviously won't be receiving any pay during this time. Thanks for any advice in advance
