RIGHTS OF SOCIAL SECURITY CLAIMANTS

That this House believes that if an error is made in determining a person's benefit the claimant should have a statutory right to have such an official error corrected; therefore regrets that the Government has laid the statutory instrument entitled The Social Security (Miscellaneous Provisions) Amendment (No.2) Regulations 1992 (S.I., 1992, No.2595) as it will diminish the rights of existing and future claimants to such retrospective entitlements; believes that his further attempt to remove Regulation 49 of the 1987 Claims and Payments Regulations is a further attempt to erode the rights of the poorest in the community and reduce social security expenditure by undermining the rights of benefit claimants; and urges the Government to withdraw S.I., No.2595.
