Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 4 June 2020 to Question 52243 on Social Security Benefits: Terminal Illness, when her Department plans to publish the outcome of the review into how the benefits system supports people who are terminally ill, announced in July 2019.

As I stated during recent oral questions [Hansard, 14 September 2020, Column 3]. The evaluation took longer due to covid-19. It has shown that there are three themes: the need to change the six-month rule, to improve consistency and to raise awareness of the support. The Department is working at pace across government to bring forward proposals.
