Early Access to State Pension for Terminally Ill People
That this Assembly believes that people diagnosed with a terminal illness should not be forced to endure financial hardship as they approach the end of their life; calls on the British Government to allow those diagnosed with a terminal illness to access their state pension early, providing them with financial security and dignity in their final months; and further calls on the Minister for Communities to engage with the Department for Work and Pensions to advocate for, and facilitate, the necessary legislative and administrative changes to make early access to state pensions a reality for terminally ill people.
