Benefits and grants

When someone is diagnosed with a long-term condition, there are a number of questions that are often asked:

  • "What is going to happen to me in the future?"
  • "How I am going to cope?"
  • "What sort of help and support is around for me?"

For those with mortgages and the responsibility of bringing up a family, there may also be a great deal of uncertainty about financial matters. It is worth checking to see if there are any benefits you could claim or grants you can receive.

We recognise the need for people with Parkinson's to have access to accurate benefits information in order to make informed decisions for themselves.

We provide up-to-date information on benefits for people with Parkinson's and their families, as well as ongoing support and advice.

We have a range of rights and benefits publications to help you find out in more detail what you may be entitled to financially. They also include information about other services available to people with Parkinson's and where you are able to get further information.
