My father has cancer and lives in spain does anyone know of any finacial support for him. He was born in england and has been in spain for the last 12 years Thankyou
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear that your dad has cancer.
I don't know if anyone here will know what financial benefits he is entitled to in Spain but I thought I'd suggest that you join and post your question in the living with cancer outside the UK group, as there may be people in that group who live in Spain and who can tell him how the benefit system works there.
To join this group just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Does he have any Spanish friends who could help him navigate their welfare state?
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your dad's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
