Have Anyone Here Knows How To Avail Of Fundings From PCSO?

They don't cover the pf. It took me actually two months before tehy give me help.I have to endure long hours when my baby got sick

Hi best. I remember when my father-in-law got hospitalized we seek help from PCSO and glad that we are successful. Why don't you try, there's no harm in trying, just inquire first of what you should bring. If you know of any social worker who works in the hospital, approach them and ask if they could give you recommendation for it will be much easier for your case to be approved. I think you should prepare the medical records of zayzay. But I'm telling you that the assistance that you will get from PCSO will not be that much. Good luck best. My prayers are with you. HUGZ always.

Wow, because of the negative news I've been seeing about PCSO, I failed to see that they're still a body that helps people. It's good to see these posts about them helping people in need. I just hope the truth about the alleged 20M issue come out once and for all.

Well I happen to ask for it about a couple of years ago when my mother was undergoing chemotherapy. Well for one, the first thing that you have to do is prepare all the necessary papers relating to your needs. If that is medical assistance you have to get as many papers for your doctor about the condition of your son and recommended treatment for that. Also do not forget to ask for the billing and ask for Hospital for the billing and inform them of your intention to ask for help in PCSO. Better inform your doctor about it and I think most doctors know what they will have to prepare for that. Next is if you know your Mayor, ask for a referral letter coming from them together with DSWD to assess your needs, they know what to do with that and they will assist you with that. The hardest part is going to PCSO since when I went there it took me almost a couple of weeks and I was able to get funding almost a month after following it up religiously with them. I can understand since there are I guess thousands per day lining up in there asking for assistance. Some were given immediate assistance but in my case it took me longer since it was not a priority case. It is good also if you can get recommendation from Senators and people in position because they act on it faster than anyone else.

My sister will be going there, but she also wants to try going to Senate. I will return to your topic or give you a pm of what will happen as soon as possible. We are in need of medical assistance because my father diagnose to have diabetes.

I have a friend who actually went to PCSO when his son got sick and I think he was successful in getting something from the agency. I don't know much about the process but I do know he was there as early as 3am and there are already people there lining up. Also he brought the medical records of his son with him. He went and came back to PCSO at least three times I think. I know they have a quota for the day and not all people gets approved(i'm not that sure about the approval info) I hope somehow I have helped you. By all means please go to PCSO because if you get approved it will really lessen your burden. I'm praying for your son too

hi neildc good luck on that but also do continue to see if you can get your son taken on by the surgeons at St Judes. I know that they do a lot of pro bono work for children from other'countries in dire need of funds and of surgery. I know the surgeon donates the surgery and I am not sure about the hospital charges but so go that way too. I will keep sending my prayers for you to get the 'funds you need very soon. God Bless allof you.

Hello kabayan..yes I've heard already of that. You can go directly at the office somewhere along reclamation area (front of pier 3 i guess). Talk about yours problem that you need assistance. I guess they would help may it be a share but at least that would lessen your burden on financial problem.. Good luck my friend.. Mobhomeir here...

My boyfriend's family have asked once for their assistance, but that was to be able to pay the hospital bill that they incurred before his Mom passed away. We were lucky because a friend knows someone who once worked there and who have a lot of connections. Though they still went through the normal process, like passing documents, and interviews, the only difference is that they got a much bigger amount as compared to others. The one thing that I know though is that there is a looonggg line in the PCSO office every single day asking for aid, so you really have to be there super early just to get a chance for the interview and processing.

hello neildc, is that zayzay? i have seen that in the video. i don't know really. why don't you try approaching the networks, i am sure they might do something about it. as for PCSO, there are a lot of people asking them for help. i don't trust government agencies such as those, I've heard so many stories about corruption there.. but you can try. we will pray for your son.

After typhoon Ondoy, one of our neighbors whose husband contracted leptospirosis went to the PCSO to ask for help in the medical bills. As I understand from her story,only those falling under a certain income bracket will qualify. She explained that both she and her husband are retired with no income and recent victims of Ondoy. PCSO answered a substantial part of the medical bills. She also said that people there are helpful especially to people who looks like they need help. She brought the medical bills and proof that they could not afford to pay it. She made sure that she dressed like someone who needs help - in slippers and duster.

They are very approachable, but before you go the the PCSO office, you need to have a social report on your social status, it is prepared by the Social Worker (DSWD) in your municipality or City, there will also be social workers in every public hospital, either way, upon checkup/consultation from your doctor you will have to ask for a doctors report and you will bring that together with the DSWD Report to the PCSO. If you have these two you will eligible for assistance for amounting to 2 thousand pesos for outright medical bills, but you wont be given the money just the medicines as prescribe by your doctor. the maximum is 100 thousand in severe cases.

PCSO is a first come first serve basis. You should coordinate with the medical social services department of your patient's hospital to assist you in the requirements needed by the PCSO. Social workers will give you referral letter. You should also coordinate with the medical records to get the clinical abstract of the patient to be submitted in PCSO. Aside from that, there are some other requirements that you need to submit before you qualify on the medical assistance of PCSO.
