HC Deb 29 July 1988 vol 138 c825W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what actions have been taken by his Department in respect of incomplete or false declarations on form AG1; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Scott

Generally, incomplete claim forms AG1 are returned to the claimant drawing attention to the omissions. Such claims are given priority when they are resubmitted. If a deliberately false declaration were to be detected or suspected further investigation would be carried out and appropriate action taken.
