My friend has terminal cancer. He is currently in a hospice, and has been there for just over four weeks.
He has been on PIP and housing benefit for several years.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for clarity on what he is entitled to, how he funds his rent etc. He had a disability car, and this has been returned, but he still has his flat.
