HC Deb 09 March 1981 vol 1000 c249W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of Slate for Social Services what consideration he has given to the findings of the Social Security Commissioner in the case of Paul Campbell; how in his view they will affect unresolved cases concerning mobility allowance which are still on appeal; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rossi

I shall consider the implications of this case further when the commissioner has given decisions on other pending cases which involve interpretation of the same regulation.

It is for the independent adjudicating authorities to decide claims for mobility allowance, but departmental representatives and medical appeal tribunal hearings have been advised to suggest that the tribunal should consider adjourning any similar cases until the decisions are known.
