Delivering specialist benefits advice services to people affected by cancer through a model of integrated financial support. Working with Macmillan Cancer support, we offer benefit advice and access to grants to people affected by cancer (and their families), across Coventry and Warwickshire, ensuring we are available to cancer patients at the following stages: Diagnosis/Staging: this includes people who have had diagnostic tests and a diagnosis of cancer (primary or metastatic disease) confirmed and also includes 'surveillance' for clients with slow growing cancer which may not need treatment at diagnosis. Treatment: this includes people during active treatment and those that have ended active treatment (up to 6 months post treatment). Palliative Care: treatment and support aimed at relieving symptoms or pain rather than curing the condition. End of Life: this includes people with advanced disease who have given 6 months to live and also covers post bereavement support.
