§ Mr. Kirkwoodasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied that leaflet S.10 concerning information for claimants about changes in supplementary benefit for couples was correctly drafted.
§ Mr. WhitneyOne inaccuracy in this leaflet was noted by the Department subsequent to its publication. At line 13 on page 2 it was not made clear that one of the conditions for being the claimant when a claim is received on behalf of a couple is receipt of supplementary benefit to care for a relative or a severely disabled person for 6 months before the claim. This leaflet is no longer issued to claimants, but if the hon. Member is aware of any difficulties which it has caused, I would be grateful if he would let me know.
