HC Deb 17 July 1987 vol 119 c666W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when a decision will be reached by his Department's attendance allowance office at Norcross, Blackpool, in the case of Miss Irene Clipsom of 24 Mill Lane, Rugeley, Staffordshire, in respect of her mother Mrs. Clipsom, national insurance No. ZA 57 26 89 A.

Mr. Scott

A decision was given on 25 February 1987 by the Attendance Allowance Board, the independent adjudicating authority responsible for deciding whether the medical conditions for an allowance are satisfied in individual cases, and sent to Miss Clipsom on 16 March. I understand she has asked for the decision to be reviewed and this is currently being considered by the board.
