PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Attendance Allowance (21 July 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people claiming attendance allowance did so using a DS1500 form in 2014.

Asked by:
Sarah Champion (Labour)

Answer

The information requested is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. The DS1500 is not a claim form and its use in providing evidential support for claims from people who are terminally ill claiming benefit is not obligatory.
