HC Deb 28 November 2000 vol 357 c487W
Mr. Hunter

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will take measures to ensure that the Benefits Agency reviews entitlement to Income Support during the lifetime of a claim and that such reviews replace the responsibility of the claimant to notify relevant changes in circumstances. [139290]

Angela Eagle

The Benefits Agency regularly checks that claimants receiving Income Support remain entitled. We do not intend, however, that these review checks should replace the responsibility of claimants to notify relevant changes in their circumstances, as has been the case for many years.
