    Hi Michael,

    I am sorry to hear you are not well.
    My mum was also diagnosed with terminal cancer in May.

    With the small amount of info you have given in your initial post it is difficult to advise re the CSA.
    Are there any arrears on your case?

    Has your doctor completed a DS1500 0n your behalf and returned it to the DWP?
    This form should be fast tracked by the DWP and any further entitlement to benefits put into place as soon as possible.

    Best wishes.

    Hi,
    I have a friend who is left only £150 a week out of his wages,
    He has a heart condition , depression and a drink problem due to the CSA and what they have reduced him too.
    he has to rent a room which is £80.00 a week , pay train fares to work and feed himself which means he usually has no money for 4 days a week to eat.
    he has tried to kill himself twice and for a guy that was an olympic class athlete before the CSA ruined his life it is such a shame to see him in this condition.

    hi this is a terrible experience for us. my husband who has cancer is soo distressed that the mother of his children has admitted she rings the csa constantly for money and to top it all off refuses him access . surely he has a big enough battle on his hands with the cancer without all this stress!!!
