HC Deb 04 March 1994 vol 238 c45W
Mr. Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the estimated saving to his Department from applying the new incapacity test to severe disablement allowance.

Mr. Scott

The new incapacity test will not be applied to existing severe disablement allowance recipients and the majority of new beneficiaries. Savings, if any, are therefore expected to be negligible.
