That is easier to figure out. The one that is harder to figure out is if you have a disability and the terminal diagnosis is an extension of that - it depends on the disability you have. The terminal illness comes as an extension, you have particular organ failure, for example, your lungs are giving up. They are all based on the disability, so I wonder how you create a framework that does not exclude them when they are associated.
