§ Mr. Paul FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many payments have been made under the special compensation scheme for claimants who claimed(a) disability living allowance or (b) attendance allowance after February 1993; and what is the total amount paid.
§ Mr. Scott:[pursuant to his reply, 24 January 1994, col. 18]: The answer should have read as follows: No claims to disability living allowance or attendance allowance made after February 1993 have attracted a payment under the special compensation scheme. This is because all claims considered under that scheme must have been received on or after 3 February 1992 and had payment issued prior to 1 April 1993. Additionally, any claim must have suffered a delay of more than eight months, or more than six months in special rules cases.
