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
