  • Hi there ... Sorry you had things posponed and feeling a tad let down ... If you phone mcmillan they have trained people to help with finances and how to claim benefits and I know they send forms out ... I'm sure if you asked them they would help fill them in ... That will be one prob sorted ...

    It's a shame, but they are so stretched that they have to prioritize sometimes and every op I've had, they have said it's a possibility ... You can also chat to McMillan nurse and it's a free phone number ... Just put McMillan into your search engine and there's lots of info there and numbers ..

    Write down questions before you phone as it's easy to forget ... Good luck ... Don't give up .... Chrissie xx

     

  • Thankyou wen I spoke a while back to Mcmillan 

    cos I have daughter working and living here till she gets her own home 

    they said over 8000 between us yearly I wud not be entitled to nothing so this is why I’m wondering now no sick pay 

    I will call again Monday although was waiting for a call back 

    and understand how busy they must be 

    thanks again 

    Pauline xx
