Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Earlier the question was asked if we could have a definition of ““terminally ill””. I do not think there is one. This definition that you will die within six months applies where the allowance is available. But as I tried to point out in my presentation, you might be terminally ill and not die within six months. Although you might be pretty sick and even near to death, you would not qualify for the allowance.
