§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make it his policy that indoor corridors are not used as part of the eligibility test for mobility allowance, especially where the applicant's disabilities include sensory impairment.
§ Mr. NewtonThe medical questions which arise on claims for mobility allowance are decided under an independent system of adjudication. It is for examining medical practitioners, medical boards and medical appeal tribunals to decide what tests are necessary in order to ascertain whether a particular claimant is unable or virtually unable to walk.
