Review processes for cancer patients to receive government financial assistance

A cancer diagnosis is daunting and can tear families apart. A review is needed to ensure those diagnosed with late stage cancer can receive the financial support they are entitled to easily and without unnecessary bureaucracy, including very quick backdated payments where decisions are overturned.

My own experience as a cancer patient is that unnecessary delay caused me and my family additional stress trying to battle the disease, and I believe the system needs significantly improving. People are suffering and need help, cancer affects people physically and mentally. Don’t cause people unnecessary worry and stress with delays to financial assistance.
