Hi. I was diagnosed with a stage three brain tumour last year and currently and going through chemotherapy. The radiotherapy and chemotherapy have affected my mobility and I am currently in the process of applying for PIP. Because of the difficulties I’m having I am needing a lot of help, which I’m currently getting from my mum who I live with. Does anybody know if she would be entitled to carers allowance and how would you feel about getting this if she is?
