Financial and social support

Amyloidosis UK trustee Vince Nicholas provides helpful advice for amyloidosis patients around financial and social support as the condition develops. For financial support he suggests looking into PIP (Personal Independence Payments) and explains how to prepare for submitting the application. You can also check your eligibility for the Carer Allowance and other social care & support options including home modifications. You can even apply to have VAT taken off anything that you buy to support working from home. It is important to look after your own mental and physical needs.

 

Having been diagnosed with hATTR amyloidosis himself, Vince Nicholas is an expert in patient support and the services available to you and/or your loved ones.
