Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the Scottish Government's decision to remove the time-limited definition of terminal illness and to allow the clinical judgment of a registered medical practitioner to determine a terminal diagnosis.

It is a matter for the Scottish Government how they assess entitlement for devolved benefits. We will continue to work with the Scottish Government on the interaction between those benefits which are reserved and those which are devolved.
