Severe Disablement Allowance

HC Deb 11 July 1989 vol 156 c440W

Mr. Steinberg

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people in the City of Durham constituency receive severe disablement allowance.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

I regret that the information is not available in the precise form requested.

The City of Durham constituency is served by the Department's local office in Durham but their boundaries are not conterminous. The numbers of people receiving severe disablement allowance at the Durham local office as at 31 May 1989, the latest date for which the information is available, were 449.

Source: 100 per cent. count of cases in action. The figure quoted may include a small number of cases not actually in receipt of benefit. Data are provisional and subject to amendment.
