| Title: | Ministry of National Insurance and successors: Registered Files (B series) |
| Description: |
This series contains a selection of Ministry of National Insurance files relating to problems, mainly concerning sickness benefits, which arose from the provision of the National Insurance Act 1946 and subsequent Acts. Related topics such as the arrangements made for regularising the provision of evidence of incapacity for work, for the control of claims to benefit, for administration of the scheme in times when the number of claims each week reached a very high level and procedures for providing medical certificates are also covered. Included too are files dealing with the position of claimants to benefit who provided special problems, for example, former voluntary contributors and tuberculosis patients sent abroad for treatment. 'Disability Allowance' was later renamed Disability Living Allowance, and 'Disability Employment Credit' became Disability Working Allowance. |
