Hi

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2023.

I am currently on ESA support group, severe disability premium and also pip.

My payments were £481.19 per fortnight
Pip is £418.00 per month so I am confused as it seems I will not be getting all I’m entitled to.


Thank you

  • Hi  

    My name’s Vicky and I’m a Support Advisor here at Macmillan.  I’m sorry to hear the confusion with your benefits payments, unfortunately it’s not something we can advise about here however we have a great Welfare Rights Team here on our Support Lines who can look at your situation and try to answer any questions that you have.   You could give them a call on 0808 808 0000, select Option 1 for the Support Lines then Option 2 for Welfare Rights or by chat, selecting Welfare Rights and Benefits as the subject, I’ve popped a link into the chat page for you.

    I hope this information is of use to you Pandorica, please know that we’re here to support through this and if there’s anything else we can help you with or even if you just need to talk to someone about how you’re feeling then we’re here for you.

    Kindest regards,

    Vicky, Information and Support Adviser
