HC Deb 09 February 1983 vol 36 c410W
Mr. Foster

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps are being taken to ensure that those claiming or receiving rent rebates or allowances on rate rebates who will be eligible for housing benefit supplement and who are not in contact with his Department are identified by the relevant public authorities and are advised of their entitlements.

Mr. Rossi

Guidance to local authorities on identifying claimants for standard housing benefit with potential entitlement to housing benefit supplement will be issued shortly.
