Supporting information and Special Rules for Terminal Illness

For individuals who are terminally ill, the only supporting information we need is a BASRiS form.

However, you can also accept the SR1 form or DS1500 form used by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to confirm a terminal illness diagnosis

For more information, read the chapter on applications under the Special Rules for Terminal Illness.
