HC Deb 30 June 1987 vol 118 cc74-5W
47. Mr. Battle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received regarding mobility allowances.

Mr. Scott

We regularly receive representations about the qualifying conditions for mobility allowance, particularly in connection with individual claimants' appeals against decisions by the independent adjudicating authorities. Recently there have been more general representations about the age 75 limit, and about extending the medical eligibility criteria to include disabled people who can walk but are not independently mobile.
