Charity condemns benefits scheme

00:25, Mar 15 2010

 

A charity has criticised the "confusing and complex" benefits system as new figures revealed £8 million goes unclaimed by cancer patients every year.

Figures from cancer charity Macmillan showed 32% of Scots with terminal cancer hadn't claimed either the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Attendance Allowance (AA).

The money is supposed to help cancer patients meet the extra costs incurred by the disease.
