Hi sparky ... If you ring McMillan they have someone there that can tell you exactly what they are entitled to ... You firstly talk to someone who will either put you through or they will ring back ... I'm not sure but think he's definitely entitled to more once they have a terminal prognosis and I think it can be fast tracked ... But give them a ring .. they talked to me then sent me forms to claim but I think if you find that difficult they will help you there too ... 

It's a nightmare trying to find info ... Good luck ... Chrissie x

Thanks Chrissie, much appreciated x

The hospital will fill in ds1500 form we had one and dwp came to lizs louse and sorted attendancs allowence within a week its 84 quid my liz got its not means tested it depends on oncologist the mc.millan nurse sorted it out but like everything now you have to push them nicely .p ps if its i hate to say terminal you have to ring county council they have a team that does disabled parking permits i had to say to guy if your wife had this would want to sort it out quick think i hit the right spot and ge put me straight through but again dont wait do it yourself think you pay a few quid prossesing fee and they fast track it liz got hers in a week but only because i used plesant sycology on them
