HC Deb 01 March 1982 vol 19 c52W
Mr. Terry Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in what circumstances the recipient of a mobility allowance is re-examined by a medical officer.

Mr. Rossi

A further examination is carried out when a recipient makes a renewal claim on the expiry of a previous award. Also, an examination may be carried out by the doctors on a medical board or medical appeal tribunal if an award is being reviewed because of a report that the recipient may no longer satisfy the medical conditions for the allowance.
