HC Deb 16 November 1983 vol 48 c487W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many claims have been received on form SB20 since 1 August.

Dr. Boyson

Records are not kept of the number of claims received on form SB20—for consideration of a refund of supplementary benefit thought to have been wrongly withheld on grounds of voluntary unemployment. However, the number of payments made as a result of such claims was 64, up to 25 October 1983, and the amount refunded was £1,784. In addition, 2,905 refunds, amounting to £66,564, have been made up to the same date as a result of the special review of existing cases.
