We know that a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy can also be a stressful time from a financial perspective.
This webinar will provide clarification around the 2026 Changes to the Work Capability Assessment for Universal Credit - with time for a Q&A with Robert after his presentation.
It will also reiterate the different ways in which Cardiomyopathy UK can support you with Welfare & Benefits-related enquiries, including applying for PIP (Personal Independence Payment) and what to do if your application has been turned down.
