answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The provision of the national insurance number to a bank or building society is an essential part of paying benefits and pensions direct. All benefits and pensions administered by the Department for Work and Pensions use the customer's national insurance number as a payment reference. The national insurance number provides a unique audit trail of individual transactions so that, for example, returned or other queried payments can be quickly traced and customer enquiries dealt with effectively. Customers are made aware on claim forms that their National Insurance number (NINO) may be shown on bank/building society account statements.</p><p> </p><p>We actually provide the banks with a payment reference up to 18 characters (which incorporates the national insurance number). The Department is aware that banks use the information in the exact format provided to them by DWP, but ultimately how much of it appears on the customer’s statement is the responsibility of the bank. DWP does not request or instruct banks to show the national insurance numbers on their customer’s bank statements.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 15/06/2015 16:22:37 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Disability Living Allowance (DLA) will continue to be paid while the claim to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is being processed. Once the PIP decision has been made we will continue to pay DLA for four weeks to provide additional, limited support to those seeing a decrease in financial support.</p><p>In September 2013, the Motability charity announced that they would provide a one-off package of support and advice to help those people who have a Motability car but are found not to be entitled to the enhanced rate mobility component of PIP and, as a consequence, are no longer eligible to use the Motability Scheme. These people can keep their vehicle for up to three weeks after the DLA payment ends. This means that claimants will retain their car for up to seven weeks following the PIP decision. Additionally, Motability is providing a one-off lump sum to help customers make other arrangements, for example to go towards a used car. They will pay £2000 if the customer joined the Scheme before January 2013 or £1000 if the customer joined after January 2013 and up to December 2013. Motability is working with their suppliers to provide general information on motoring, insurance and other services outside the Scheme, including information about buying new or used cars and arranging insurance and other services. The Scheme also offers customers an opportunity to purchase their vehicle following the end of the lease.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 15/06/2015 12:54:51 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
