Remove the six-month rule for benefit claims made by terminally ill people

Terminally ill people have more concerning issues to focus on and should not have to constantly worry about finances and benefit claims. I have a terminally ill spouse and understand the impact this can have on finances. The current rule unfairly prevents people who are terminally ill but whose doctors can’t or won’t certify that they may die within six months from being treated as terminally ill when claiming benefits.
