§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will arrange for someone from his Department to address the Huddersfield Mentally Handicapped Society in connection with the constant attendance allowance regulations, in view of the uncertainty and misgivings of the Society.
§ Mr. DeanThe conditions for entitlement to the attendance allowance, including the medical requirements, are set out in leaflets available from the Department's local offices. The application of those medical requirements to individual cases is a matter for the Attendance Allowance Board and, if a claimant is dissatisfied with a decision of the Board,154W his best course is to apply to the Board for a review. But if there are any general points of difficulty I should be glad if the hon. Member would write to me about them.
