Diagnosed with prostate cancer, am I entitled to anything?

  • Hi RTT. Welcome to the forum.

    DLA no longer exists. 

    PIP is only paid if your condition is significantly affecting your ability to live independently, which given that you say your cancer is small, is highly unlikely.  To get PIP there are an awful lot of hoops to leap through, and it's close to impossible unless you have an obvious disability. 

    As a cancer patient, if you live in England then you will be able to get free prescriptions. Ask for a form at your GP surgery.
