Missed approach (?) when glideslope fails

You are on an ILS approach, DH 200'. The localizer-only MDA is 500'.
You are at 300' in IMC when the GS fails. Assuming you are timing the
approach, is it legal to climb to 500 and continue the approach?

That's how I was taught. You time the ILS approach, even though it's
not necessary, in case the GS fails and you can climb to the MDA and
continue as a LOC approach. I've read several articles advising that.
I was even told that not timing the ILS approach was a failure item on
the checkride, so I did as I was taught and timed the approach. I
guess it's good practice against the possibility of forgetting to time
the approach when it really does matter.

For my IMC rating (UK-only "baby brother" of an IR) the instructor didn't
insist on timing the ILS approach, but did point out that if you've got
other aids (ADF, DME) there's no harm in having them tuned in as a
cross-reference.
