Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am awaiting a prod from the Box. My understanding is that it will be ab initio, from the date of the claim, but I hope the noble Lord will bear with me for just a moment. Indeed, it may not be the date of the claim, because there could be some backdating involved. If the condition arose before the date of the claim, there is an opportunity to backdate for three months. For practical purposes, however, we are talking about the date of the claim, from the point of entitlement.
