Social Security Benefits: Terminal Illnesses

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many DS1500 forms his Department has processed since the introduction of universal credit.

Answer

The information requested is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. The DS1500 is not a claim form and its use in providing evidential support for claims from people who are terminally ill claiming benefit is not obligatory.
