HC Deb 07 June 1996 vol 278 cc575-6W
Mr. Robert Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he intends to lay before Parliament the proposed regulations which affect the payment of the disability living allowance mobility component to certain hospital in-patients. [32222]

Mr. Andrew Mitchell

The Social Security (Disability Living Allowance and Claims and Payments) Amendment Regulations 1996 were placed before the House today, 7 June. These regulations align the payment rules for the mobility component of disability living allowance—DLA—with those for the DLA care component, which is withdrawn after the first 28 days in hospital, 84 days for children.
