HC Deb 30 November 1976 vol 921 c105W
60. Mrs. Millie Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proportion of applications for constant attendance allowance are successful; of the unsuccessful how many appealed and go for review; and what is their subsequent success rate.

Mr. Alfred Morris

In the 12 months to October of this year 74 per cent. of initial decisions given on claims for attendance allowance were favourable. In the same period, 6,000 people whose claims had been rejected applied for review and of these 67.9 per cent. were successful.
