In the ATOS guidelines for their part in conducting the ESA assessment, a terminal illness (which is the only case in which they take the step that---as your anonymous correspondent puts it---"would be normal" of going to your medical consultants) is a progressive illness with a life-expectancy of under 6 months.
So redefining to a limit of 12 months would be a step in the right direction.
