HC Deb 10 November 1998 vol 319 c162W
Mr. Duncan Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security which parts of the disability income guarantee will be means-tested. [58510]

Mr. Timms

The disability income guarantee will provide extra help for the poorest disabled people with the highest care needs. It will be paid as part of Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance (Income Based), Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit and will take the form of a new, higher rate of disability premium and a new, higher rate of disabled child premium for those getting the highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance.
