Dundee Macmillan Welfare Benefits Service

The Dundee Macmillan Welfare Benefits Service offers a free confidential service to individuals living with cancer, their families and carers. It provides help with Welfare Benefit entitlements, information on entitlement and help to complete benefit forms. It also provides access to the Macmillan Grant Scheme for one off costs associated with the additional costs of living with a cancer diagnosis. Additionally the service can help with money and debt advice options as well as energy advice through other linked services within Council Advice Services. The service can be contacted directly via email as well as through various Ninewells secondary care locations as listed in the link below.
