HC Deb 11 February 1992 vol 203 c451W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the definition of terminal illness used for those cared for in hospices and residential care nursing homes deemed eligible for the higher income support limit; and if he will make a statement.

Miss Widdecombe

People staying in a nursing home which is able to provide a level of care appropriate to someone suffering from a terminal illness may receive the terminal illness limit if they are actually receiving such care.
