Social Security Benefits: Terminal Illnesses
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the current average time is from the point of application for people with (a) cancer and (b) motor neurone disease to receive their benefit entitlement under the special rules for terminal illness.
- Answer
-
The information requested is not readily available for all special rules for the terminally ill benefits, and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
For Personal Independence Payment new claims made under special rules for the terminally ill, please refer to the statistical ad hoc that was published on 28th January to support discussions at the Work and Pensions Select Committee.
