HC Deb 04 March 1991 vol 187 cc72-3W
26. Mr. Hannam

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what estimate he has made of the number of disabled people who will be able more easily to work as a result of the introduction of the new disability working allowance.

Mr. Scott

Disability working allowance is an entirely new addition to social security to meet the needs of disabled people who want to work but have limited capacity. We expect that once DWA is established about 50,000 people at any one time will take the new opportunity offered by this benefit.
