Trish says, “My son was diagnosed with testicular cancer, so he couldn’t go for a Jobseeker’s appointment a week later. He rang and explained why and they still sanctioned him. He had his op a week after that, to have cancer removed, and a CT scan revealed that the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes in chest and stomach and both of his lungs, so he was immediately admitted to hospital for intensive chemo. A social worker rang the job centre to explain and they are still refusing to give him any money. He’s had nothing for about six weeks.”
