📽️@drewhendrySNP question to Rishi Sunak earlier 'It's approaching 2 yrs since the UK Gov said they'd review the way dying people are treated through social security, meanwhile @mariecurieuk estimate that 6000 people have died whilst waiting for a decision on their claim'

Today our social workers from @SRWheatfields and @SRManorlands are giving evidence to the APPG on Terminal Illness on how choice in end-of-life care is limited or denied for people living in inadequate housing or fuel poverty. @scrap6months @drewhendrySNP

The government ‘six month rule’ means many individuals are pushed into poverty in the last months of life. As Ministers continue to sit on their hands, those diagnosed with a terminal illness face a slow and burdensome process of accessing support. There can be no further delay.

It is a disgrace that this has not been addressed. Grateful to @CatSmithMP for raising this. Over a year ago the #TerminalIllness All party group and @MarieCuriePA published our report. UK Government promised to review. Promises, promises but no action. #UniversalCredit

Fantastic speech and bill from @jessicamordenmp on #Scrap6months for the #TerminallyIll rightly acknowledging the work of @MadeleineMoon @MarieCuriePA @mndassoc UKgov making the right noises but they've been doing this for years now. Time for them to act, folk are dying.

Earlier, I spoke with @LBCNews on our #scrap6months campaign, ahead of @jessicamordenmp's ten-minute rule bill. Pleased to co-sign this bill. It's a year since the @scrap6months APPG launched its report & a year since we were promised a review. Time for Govt to act well overdue.

It has been almost a year since the @DWP announced they would review how the benefits system supports terminally ill people.  Since then, over 2,000 people living with #MND will have died, many struggling to access the benefits they desperately need (1/2)

We were promised a review a year ago, and we are still waiting. Families living with terminal illnesses cannot afford to wait - – they need immediate action to scrap the punitive policy. #scrap6months @MarieCuriePA @mndassoc @scrap6months

“I am calling for reform of a cruel benefits system that's not fit for purpose and is letting down the terminally ill. We owe it to everyone to reform a benefits system that is currently insulting and inhumane" Thanks @jessicamordenmp #Scrap6Months southwalesargus.co.uk/news/18242527.…

The need for terminally ill people to prove they have less than six months to live to get faster, easier access to benefits is wrong and must go. #ScrapSixMonths @mndassoc and @mariecurieuk
