Written question asked by Lady Hermon (Independent (affiliation)) on Monday, 3 June 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 5 June 2019. It was answered by John Penrose (Conservative) on Tuesday, 11 June 2019 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.
Personal Independence Payment: Terminal Illnesses
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what estimate she has made of the number of terminally ill claimants known to the Northern Ireland Department for Communities who had their claim for personal independence payments rejected and died within six months of that decision; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
I am aware that DWP recently provided information on the total number of patients who died within six months of their personal independence payment claim being disallowed. The delivery of personal independence payments is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland and therefore falls within the remit of the Department for Communities.
