Hi try phoning the MacMillan helpline or going to your local MacMillan. Failing that try your local advice centre. Have a look at entitled to.com for advice, I think you might be able to get employment support allowance (ESA). You may even be able to get the pip benefit although I'm not an expert. Good luck and kind regards Frank.
