Mr Major’s Written Parliamentary Answer on the Severe Disablement Allowance – 25 November 1986

Below is the text of Mr Major’s written Parliamentary Answer on the Severe Disablement Allowance on 25th November 1986.


Mr. Ashley Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people have been denied the severe disablement allowance because of the 10-in-20-years test; and how many of these were members of service families.

Mr. Major I regret that the information requested is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
