Hi

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May three years ago. Last July was told it had returned in my spine.

I have worked mostly throughout treatment, from home with flexibility. I hope to continue to work this year all being well but as i am 50 in oct I won't get state pension. 

What are my entitlements, I have always worked have my own home and small amount of savings. Since recent diagnosis I get enhanced pip which has helped massively with col and improving my home. 

I want to give up work and enjoy what time i have left but don't want to live like a pauper in doing so. 

Any advice, suggestions or similar situations greatly appreciated.

Tdke care xx

  • Hi Lfc75

    Sorry to hear that your cancer has returned.  I suggest that you give the Macmillan helpline a ring on 0800 808 00 00 to someone about your entitlements.

    Wishing your the best of luck with what comes next for you.

    Best wishes
