HC Deb 15 January 1976 vol 903 c246W
Mr. Gould

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what provision is to be made under the new mobility allowance for those disabled people who at present receive help in this respect but who are over retirement age.

Mr. Alfred Morris

Those reaching retirement age who already receive help under the former vehicle service will be able to retain the benefits they have, so long as they continue to meet the conditions under which those benefits were originally granted. As my hon. Friend will know, disabled people over pension-able age will not be eligible for mobility allowance.
