Hundred died challenging terminally ill benefits awards
Christine McCluskey, from Dundee, Scotland, had a history of illnesses including Crohn's Disease, osteoporosis, and suffering a stroke in 2005.
Michelle believes the application process needs to change so fast-tracked support can be paid automatically to people with a terminal diagnosis. In February 2019, a tribunal ruled Christine's PIP should not have been cut. The DWP paid the arrears owed.in 2018 which proposed to remove the six-month time limit and replace it with a clinical judgment made by an appropriate health professional.
"Most people in the initial shock [of receiving a terminal diagnosis] aren't thinking about benefits, they are thinking what have I got to do to live whatever time I have left.
