HC Deb 19 June 1979 vol 968 c517W
Mrs. Kellett-Bowman

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give the new rates of invalidity allowance he proposes from November 1979.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

The proposed new rates are as follows:

For those whose incapacity began before age Weekly rate
40 £4.90
50 £3.10
60 for men;55 for women £1.55

I regret that the age bands given in the press notice about the increased social security benefits—Ref. 79/142—issued on 13 June 1979 were incorrect.
