HC Deb 06 March 1975 vol 887 cc501-2W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in what circumstances supplementary benefit is paid to registered disabled people subject to the wage stop; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Alfred Morris

Claimants who are substantially disabled would not normally have their benefit wage-stopped. Registration as a disabled person, however, is only one factor in considering whether the removal of a wage stop is justified. If my hon. Friend has any case of difficulty I shall be pleased to receive details from him.
