Families of children with cancer are facing severe financial stress as they wait months for benefits to cover additional costs related to their child's illness. According to Young Lives vs Cancer, families incur average costs of £700 monthly, yet patients aren’t eligible for benefits until three months into their illness, followed by an average further wait of four months for application assessments. The situation leaves many families in financial distress, as they cope with travel expenses, increased utility costs, and other financial burdens due to their child's treatment.
Families of children with cancer face overwhelming financial burdens, often waiting months for essential benefits while struggling with living costs that average £700 per month.
The charity Young Lives vs Cancer highlights the urgent need for quicker access to financial support for families dealing with children's cancer, as many suffer significant delays.
