Comment on this
The person concerned has claimed disability benefit from 16 November 1977 and has been paid from that date at the maximum appropriate rate. He is paid regularly on the same day each week in advance of medical evidence and all disability benefit due to 9 May 1981 has issued.
It is proposed to transfer him to invalidity pension from 14 May 1981. He will be paid all disability benefit due to that date and thereafter will receive payment of invalidity pension at the post office designated by him. There has been no delay in the payment of disability benefit in this case.
