Mr. Brady: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what factors contribute to delays to the reinstatement of attendance
allowance, where that allowance has been suspended following a stay in hospital. [190028]
Maria Eagle: A number of factors can contribute to delays to the reinstatement of attendance allowance where that allowance has been
suspended following a stay in hospital. These can include the need to contact the customer or obtain medical evidence in order to
determine the impact on benefit entitlement of any change in the customer's condition. In some cases there is a need to obtain
information from other sources such as a hospital, local authority or residential care home. There will also be a need to liaise
with other parts of the Department where payment of attendance allowance is combined with other Social Security benefits. Staff are
advised that where there are other matters to consider, priority should be given to re-instating benefit prior to making any further
inquiries wherever possible.
