Marie Curie calls for fast track access to benefits for dying patients

Every day, 10 people in this country die waiting for Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and this means some are dying in distressing financial circumstances because they have been denied the state benefits they are entitled to.

Marie Curie is calling for the next Government to waste no further time in changing the law to make it easier for dying people to get the support they need. Every day, 10 people in this country die waiting for Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and this means some are dying in distressing financial circumstances because they have been denied the state benefits they are entitled to. A new report from Marie Curie published today shows that 43% of those caring for people at the end of life say they struggle financially. The total cost of living with a terminal illness in the UK can be between £12,000
