HC Deb 02 July 1990 vol 175 c453W
31. Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what provision he makes for benefit recipients whose health requires the use of water filters to claim reimbursement for the installation costs of such filters.

Mr. Scott

Help with these costs may be available from the social fund. An income support recipient can apply for a community care grant or budgeting loan. Anyone, whether in receipt of income support or not, can apply for a crisis loan if there is serious risk to their health or safety.
