Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department has provided specific guidance to staff for dealing with terminally ill people claiming universal credit; and if he will place any such guidance in the Library.
This question was answered on 15th January 2018
We are committed to ensuring that terminally ill patients are treated with the utmost sensitivity and care and receive the support they need to make a claim to Universal Credit.
Guidance is already available for all staff working on Universal Credit to assist them when working with claimants who have a terminal illness, a copy of which will be placed in the Library.
