Put the fair into welfare

Time is running out to make sure that people with cancer don’t lose benefits.

Proposed changes to the benefits system could leave thousands of people living with cancer without vital financial support during the toughest fight of their lives - pushing some into poverty.

Help us campaign by signing our petition. Your support will be invaluable as we talk to Lords and MPs and they prepare to vote on these changes.

Why are we campaigning?

Some people with cancer will lose critical financial support after only one year. This isn’t long enough.
People with cancer getting the same drug, but administered in different ways, are being treated differently in the benefits system. This is unfair.
People with cancer will have to wait six months before they can apply for the new Disability Living Allowance. It should be available straight away.
