    Just heard that our friends have received Attendance allowance, backdated to mid-October, and that his daughter can claim Carer's Allowance - so that is good news. And he seems to be responding well to chemo - so fingers crossed for him.

    We received notification that my OH was entitled to AA on the day he died :(
