We think the system should be simplified, streamlined and cost-effective in a way that would benefit patients, medical professionals and the DWP. We believe that cancer patients should be focusing on getting through their treatment and not worrying about paying bills, mortgages or going back to work too soon as time taken for even an initial decision can be months.
