Benefits Advice
The Family Support team at Primrose Hospice can provide you and your family with benefits advice.
There are lots of worries people with life-limiting illnesses and their families might experience. These can include concerns about money and employment. To ease the burden, at Primrose Hospice we are not just able to help with emotional support and healthcare but also with more practical issues.
Our Family Support has a benefits advice element which offers patients advice and information. It is designed to be flexible to accommodate an individual person’s needs which includes giving advice at home, in the hospice or over the telephone.
Patients can be supported through benefits, housing, employment, debt and bereavement issues.
It’s important to note that our Benefit Advisors are NOT financial advisors and will not give advice on savings, pensions, probate, wills, or investments. However, we may provide you with details of professional organisations that may help with these matters.
An assessment can be carried out to ensure that the patient is receiving all the benefits they are entitled to. The Benefits Adviser is also on hand to assist with applications to local and national charitable institutions.
