Health written question – answered at on 5 January 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the number of people who are eligible for (a) attendance allowance and (b) disability living allowance who would cease to receive support under each proposal set out in the Green Paper on Social Care.
We have not taken any decisions on whether some benefits for older people will be reformed in the new care and support system. If disability benefits for older people are reformed as part of the National Care Service, those receiving the affected benefits at the time of reform would continue to receive the same level of cash support. We will give more details about the National Care Service offer in our White Paper later this year.
