HC Deb 13 May 1986 vol 97 c442W
Mr. Lilley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will estimate the number of disabled persons who would be entitled to disablement benefit but for the current therapeutic earnings limit.

Mr. Newton

Information on sickness benefit, invalidity benefit and severe disablement allowance claims disallowed because of the limit on earnings from work done for therapeutic purposes is not available centrally. An estimate could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
