A cancer diagnosis can bring unexpected costs and changes to your income. You may be wondering whether you're entitled to financial support or where to start 

Our friendly Benefits Advice Team can help you understand what benefits and grants may be available, explain your options and support you through the application process.

Our free, confidential service is available in both Welsh and English.
