HC Deb 27 November 1987 vol 123 c351W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to help claimants in Liverpool claim their full benefit entitlement following the findings of the Liverpool Association for the Disabled that 58 per cent. of disabled people were underclaiming benefit entitlement by an average of almost £20 a week; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Scott

There is a steady growth in the numbers receiving disability benefits and we shall continue our efforts to improve advice and information about the benefits available.
