answer text <p>The information requested is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Some claims to Personal Independence Payment made under special rules for terminally ill people can be found not to satisfy the definition of terminal illness. When this occurs the claim is processed under the normal rules, which includes asking the claimant to complete a PIP2 questionnaire. A claim can be disallowed if the claimant fails to return the PIP2 questionnaire under the normal rules process, even though the claimant originally made their claim under special rules for terminally ill people.</p> more like this

answer text <p>User research with clinicians to develop the Report that a patient may live less than 6 months (Digital DS1500) found that using the NHS smartcard authentication into the service was the preferred approach to ensure sensitive patient data was protected. Extending smartcard identity management into Wales would be a decision for NHS Wales and at present there are no active plans to pursue this.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Between April 2013 and October 2018, 2,840 Personal Independence Payments (PIP) claims were registered under Special Rules for Terminally Ill people (SRTI) by claimants at least 12 months after they had previously been disallowed at initial decision under normal rules. To put this into context, over 4 million applications to PIP were made between April 2013 and 31<sup>st</sup> October 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the number of these PIP claimants who died within 3 months or within 6 months of their SRTI registration between April 2013 and 30<sup>th</sup> April 2019.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: Number of Claimants who died after their Special Rules for The Terminally Ill registration which took place at least 12 months after a Normal Rules initial disallowance</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Time between Special Rules Registration and Death</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of Claimants</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Less Than 3 Months</p></td><td><p>440</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Less Than 6 Months</p></td><td><p>740</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Source: PIP ADS and Customer Information System</strong></p><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><ul><li>These figures include new claims and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to PIP reassessment claims.</li><li>By definition the less than 3 months’ figure is included in the less than 6 months’ figure.</li><li>These figures include claimants whose case was disallowed at initial decision under Normal rules who then went on to make a subsequent claim under SRTi at least 12 months later.
