HC Deb 11 January 1985 vol 70 cc570-1W
Mr. Stern

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps were taken by his Department to enforce the requirement that recipients of attendance allowances notify his Department when they move from private accommodation to residential accommodation which is provided by or with the help of a public or local authority.

Mr. Newton

A claimant who fails to notify the Department of a change of circumstances which affects his entitlement to attendance allowance may be liable to prosecution and, subject to the decision of the adjudication authorities, be required to repay any sums to which he is found not to have been entitled.
