The Medway, North and West Kent Macmillan Welfare Benefits Service is a free and confidential advice service for people living with cancer, their families, and carers.
Our trained benefits advisors provide expert support to help you understand and access the financial help you are entitled to. We work in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support to ensure you receive the best possible guidance.
- Benefit advice – including entitlement checks to make sure you get the support you deserve.
- Advocacy and representation – we can advocate for you and represent you at tribunals.
- Help with forms – we assist with filling out benefit forms and paperwork.
- Signposting – if you need additional help, we can direct you to other relevant services.
All advice is confidential and tailored to your individual circumstances.
