HC Deb 26 June 1980 vol 987 c275W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what efforts his Department has made to inform the parents of children who are in long-stay, residential homes or hospitals for the mentally and physically handicapped that if the children return home for weekends or holidays the parents may claim attendance allowance for the period of their stay at home; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Prentice

This information is given in the attendance allowance leaflet and claim form (NI 205) obtainable from any social security office and is also given in the notes in the payment order book.
