Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the impact of requiring people whose benefit payments are paid into a Post Office card account to set up an alternative arrangement on people in (a) Ceredigion and (b) other rural areas.
The Department expects that benefit claimants and pensioners will benefit from the additional services that transactional accounts offer compared to Post Office card accounts
