I

beg to move,

That leave be given to bring in a Bill to make provision about terminally ill people in the welfare system. The aim of this Bill is to encourage the Government to address the failures of the special rules for terminal illness, which do not fast-track some terminally ill people for benefits, and to make it easier for terminally people to access the benefits that they need.

IMO people with a terminal illness shouldn't have a timescale attached to vital welfare benefit payments.
