§ Mr. Frank FieldTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many eligible claimants of tax credit have been waiting for over six months for their milk tokens. [189279]
§ Dawn PrimaroloThe Inland Revenue provides the Department of Health (DoH) with monthly extracts from its database of people who, on the basis of information they report to the Revenue as tax credits claimants, are entitled to milk tokens.
1658WSThe number of cases for which such notification to DoH is delayed for six months after the calculation of the award is thought to be very small. I understand from DoH that they currently have no delays in issuing milk tokens to eligible claimants based on data supplied by the Revenue.
