Advertorial

“To suddenly go from full time employment to sick pay put a huge strain on my family, especially when trying to manage getting to and from appointments with only one vehicle and children that needed to get to school.

“It was hard enough going through the diagnosis and treatment without having to try and work out what support we could get to help us with everyday living. We hadn’t needed benefits before so it was all new to us.

“Citizens Advice Cornwall helped us work through it all and find what we were and weren’t entitled to, which saved us so much time and stress enabling us to focus on other things.” – Ian
