Automatic access to disability benefits for working people with cancer

You pay into the system through years of taxes and National Insurance contributions, trusting it will provide a safety net during serious illness. A cancer diagnosis shatters that trust for far too many because, despite contributing responsibly, the current rules for Universal Credit (UC) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can fail to recognise the unique realities of cancer patients. We want cancer to be a recognised priority in UC and PIP.
