Cancer family 'financially broken' by wait for benefits
Charity report finds seven-month average wait for families of children with cancer to access benefits.
It takes 7 months for a child with cancer to receive disability benefits, and it can take years to get a wheelchair. But the NHS will be able to administer a lethal poison to terminally-ill patients in weeks, if Kim Leadbeater's Assisted Suicide Bill is approved.
