answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2019 answer text <p>Owner-occupiers possess a valuable capital asset which may increase in value over time. It is reasonable to ask claimants who receive help towards the costs of this asset to repay that when they are able to. Most SMI claimants already have significant equity accrued upon take-up of an SMI loan and those with an SMI loan secured against their property are likely to continue accruing value beyond the repayment of an SMI loan, facilitating a move if necessary.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 05/06/2019 16:07:13 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
