Rachel’s story
Rachel* came to us for help filling out a PIP form after being diagnosed with cancer, leaving her unable to work.
Our adviser Heather assisted her to fill out her application form, with PIP being awarded at £156 per week.
Heather was also able to put Rachel in touch with Macmillan for further support, including a one-off grant payment of £350.
