<p>DS1500 forms have never been a requirement for a claim under the Special Rules
for Terminal Illness but remain the quickest and most appropriate route to gather
evidence to support entitlement in these cases. Where it is not possible to supply
a DS1500 in support of a terminal illness claim we will continue to consider alternative
evidence and work flexibly and quickly with the claimant and/or their clinician(s)
to make a quick determination. It is important to note that we have always done, and
will continue to do, our utmost to process claims under the special rules as quickly
as possible, even if a DS1500 either isn’t submitted or cannot be submitted.</p>
