HC Deb 07 June 1990 vol 173 c681W
Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how participation in action credit affects eligibility for housing benefit(a) while a claimant is on a part-time placement and receiving the income support disregard and (b) when a claimant remains unemployed after the scheme and is receiving accrued wages and income support disregard.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

A person on income support is entitled to maximum housing benefit and maximum community charge benefit. This applies both during participation in action credit and if a person remains on income support after the end of such participation in the scheme.
