IT IS WHAT IT IS...I'm not frightened and can cope because you have to. I'm just wanting to get my ducks in a row. He's home now but we've only got days...so....I want to know...who do I contact at the end...they discharged him from hospital but no support visits until the 20th...noone seems to be at the end of the phone....as I said...IM HAVING A WOBBLE...tia
Oh Charmaine,
a wobble is allowed and I hope today has been easier. I'd suggest that if your medical team haven't given you a contact number that perhaps you reach out to your GP in the first instance. Your GP should be able to put some local support in place for you, I hope. There's always the emergency services if you are really worried. We had a couple of 999 calls when my husband was first diagnosed and the paramedics were awesome with us both.

Charmaine,
How are you?
Your post in finacial advise asks for specific help which I am sure an answer will be with you soon, I wondered if you had looked at the goverment website for assistance you may need .. This Link may help , although this does not relate to pension, it may offer financial assistance.
I do hope that you are coping, I know you have mentioned the "You have too" but it is still a very difficult time for you all.
Thinking of you.
