As the other person is 68 then they won't be able to claim PIP or ESA because these are benefits for working age people. Attendance Allowance is a possibly but that would depend on care needs.littleruthie123 said:Hi yes you should .when I was going through breast cancer treatment plan. .p.I. p and esa were very helpful at that point goid luck x
