4 months post treatment tonsil cancer, boiler broken is there a fund or loan scheme please

Dear Peacelily11decbba ,

Thank you for your getting in touch. I'm sorry to hear that you have had tonsil cancer and that your boiler has broken down. I’m also sorry to hear that you had to give up your job too, it sounds like this has been a very difficult time for you. I hope I can provide some information which may help you as you try to source help in having your boiler replaced.

Please know that we have our Welfare Rights team here at Macmillan who can carry out a benefits check to ensure you are receiving the appropriate level of financial support. They can also advise of any of grants that may be available for you, if applicable. To speak with that service, you can chat to them online via our live web chat service by starting a new chat and selecting the option, 'Welfare, Benefits’ or you can call our freephone support line 0808 808 00 00 and press option 1 then 2 to speak to that team. Their opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. It would be helpful to have details of your income, outgoings and your savings to hand to help the team do an assessment for you when you contact them.

You don’t mention which area of the UK you live so please know that the webpage Citizens Advice – Getting your broken boiler repaired or replaced has more information which may also have some useful information. This link is for England, however it does have links within it for other areas of the UK too.

I really hope this information is helpful Peacelily11decbba .  And please know that we are here for emotional support too as we understand how difficult a situation like this can be so do get back in touch if you have any questions or need further support.

Take care,

Thanks Marie, I will chase up, its just sods law its broken at this time. But hey ho 

All the Best
