This question is similar to the previous question. It draws attention to the fact that while all allowances are means tested, the stoppage for whatever reason of some allowances more than others can cause a seriously negative impact on the applicant. I am trying to suggest that we could take a more benign approach to ensure that when such issues go to appeal, there is something at hand to ensure that hardship is not suffered by the family affected.
