Disablement Benefit

EDM number 701 in 1990-91, proposed by Terry Davis on 15/04/1991.

That this House is deeply concerned that the introduction of the rule whereby only those with disability assessed at 14 per cent. or more qualify for disablement benefit has led to a serious decline in the numbers qualifying for benefit, particularly amongst sufferers of vibration white finger, dermatitis, tenosynovitis and beat conditions of the hand, knee and elbow.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
