FINANCIAL HEL;P - RE BENEFITS

[clareybabs]

HI THERE, WAS JUST WONDERING IF THE WORKERS OUT THERE WHO WORKED FULL TIME AND ARE NOW ON THE SICK HAVE MANAGED TO CLAIM ANY BENEFITS - ONCE THERE WAGES STOP.

AT THE MOMENT I AM ON FULL PAY UNTIL APRIL, THEN MY WAGES DROP DOWN TO HALF PAY FOR 6 MONTHS, THEN OBVIOUSLY JUST GET SSP - AFTER THIS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY PROFESSOR THAT I WON'T GET BACK TO NURSING AT LEAST 2YEARS POST TRANSPLANT - SO WORRYING ABOUT FINANCIAL ASPECTS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM THE MAIN WAGE EARNER.

ARE MACMILLAN WELFARE BENEFITS ADVISORS THE BEST PEOPLE TO GO TOO?

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ANYONE CAN GIVE ME

THANKS A LOT - CLAIRE

Dear Claire,
yes do contact the confidential Macmillan benefits helpline first.
They will advise you on any financial help you are entitled to, incl help with mortgage advice etc.
We also have more information on our website.
Please don't hesitate to call if you need any further information.
Kindest regards,
