question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department has taken to provide additional support to Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) claimants who lack capacity to apply for SMI as a loan.
tabling member constituency	Stroud
tabling member printed	Dr David Drew
uin	151027
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2018 answer text <p>Where a claimant lacks capacity to make a decision, DWP communicates directly with the claimant’s representative to identify the appropriate person with legal capacity to make a decision for the claimant. The appropriate person is sent all relevant letters and forms, undertakes the informed discussion and signs the Loan forms where the loan is accepted. Identifying the appropriate person may take additional time so SMI benefit can be paid for an extended period until November 2018 where appropriate under transitional arrangements. In some cases where an application for financial Deputyship has been made and not yet decided this period can extend beyond November 2018.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 13/06/2018 12:08:52 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
