Mr. Frank Cook Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if married and cohabiting women who now qualify for invalid care allowance, and who qualify for back-dating of that allowance, will automatically be credited in arrears with class 1 national insurance credits to the date when their period of entitlement to invalid care allowance is commenced.
