Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when her Department's review of the Special Rules for Terminal Illness will be published.
The Department is committed to delivering an improved benefit system for claimants that are nearing the end of their lives and is working across Government to bring forward proposals following the evaluation. I remain committed to implementing the key areas identified in the evaluation; a consensus to change the six-month rule; improving consistency with other services used by people nearing the end of their lives; and raising awareness of the support that is available.
