Can I travel from Tier 3 to visit a vulnerable relative?

Elderly relative's DH is in hospital. Terminally ill and probably won't make it till Christmas. We don't know yet if she will be allowed to visit, though we're hoping so.

Relative's mental health is not great at the best of times as she is very isolated, but she is really not coping with the current situation at all, and I think she desperately needs support.

I wouldn't dream of going if it weren't for these concerns, I haven't even seen my parents for months and I wouldn't want to put her at risk. (I'm quite exposed because dd is in year 11 at a large school). However, with all that's going on, it feels like the risk of not going is probably worse than the risk of going.

Am I right to think that I would be allowed to travel in these circumstances? I am in Tier 3, and I think her area is in Tier 2.

TIA

@Pipandmum

It's not allowed within the rules, but you make your own mind up.
Don't spout incorrect information. If you don't know, don't comment.

It has never been illegal to visit someone if they are vulnerable even in the early strict weeks of the first lockdown.

Can you find out if there is lateral flow testing in your area?
