HC Deb 27 February 1956 vol 549 c88W
66. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance why it has been decided to hold up the payment of sickness benefit to Mr. G. Hunt, Kensal Rise.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The medical certificates on which payment was due were received on 24th January and a postal draft was sent to Mr. Hunt on the same day. He reported on 9th February that he had not received the draft. Subsequent inquiries have shown that the draft was cashed on 25th January and investigations are proceeding.
