HC Deb 15 November 1982 vol 32 cc62-3W
Mr. John Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why there has been a delay in reaching a decision on the case of Mr. L. M. Thomas, 45 Waun-Wen, Cwmavon, Port Talbot; when a decision was promised and for what date; and when it is likely now to be reached.

Mr. Rossi

I wrote to the right hon. Member on 29 July explaining that Mr. Thomas' claim had been referred to the attendance allowance board for a decision. I understand that the board considered the claim on 14 September but decided that they needed a further consultant's report. It has not yet been possible to obtain the report but the board will re-consider the claim as soon as the report is available.
