HC Deb 09 December 1983 vol 50 cc290-1W
Mr. Frank Field

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the number of claimants who will lose eligibility to an invalidity pension when the proposed severe disablement allowance comes into existence.

Mr. Newton

We propose that everyone receiving noncontributory invalidity pension on the date of introduction of severe disablement allowance will automatically transfer to the new allowance.
