Use this service to send an SR1 form to the Department for Work and Pensions if you have a patient who:听

• has a progressive disease听
• you would not be surprised if they were to live for less than 12 months

There are no negative consequences for the clinician or patient if a patient who claims under the Special Rules lives longer than expected.听
