Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.
Benefits Uprating
One group of people who, sadly, do not take up the benefits that they deserve, or for whom the take-up rate is low, are terminally ill patients, and although there is a special fast-track benefit system for them, it is clearly not working. Will the Minister look into how benefits for terminally ill people can be fast-tracked so that they do not have to worry about their financial situation at such a desperate time?
