	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>The special rules applying to people who are terminally ill were first introduced in 1990 for Attendance Allowance following a recommendation from the Social Security Advisory Committee. The rules are common to a range of benefits and are also used elsewhere, for example the Early Access to Financial Assistance Scheme, administered by the Pension Protection Fund. The design of Universal Credit for terminally ill claimants is based on this well tested process. This is not a separate entitlement; this is part of the Universal Credit process, and as such, the information requested is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. The Department is currently looking into what analytical information it can publish.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 02/04/2019 11:56:11 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
