HC Deb 06 June 1985 vol 80 c229W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what advice has been given to adjudication officers on how to determine whether someone aged under 26 years claiming a board and lodging allowance is so disabled that it is unreasonable to expect him to be in accommodation other than as a boarder; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitney

I am advised that the Chief Adjudication Officer is considering what specific guidance should be issued on this and on other matters relating to the recent changes in supplementary benefit for boarders.
