The Universal Credit and Employment and Support Allowance (Terminal Illness) (Amendment) Regulations 2022
These Regulations amend the definition of “terminally ill” for the purposes of universal credit and employment and support allowance. They amend the definition such that a person is “terminally ill” where their death, as a result of a progressive disease, can reasonably be expected within 12 months, as opposed to 6 months prior to the amendment.
