Commentary on Sections Part 1 – Social Security Section 20: Community care grants: reviews and information
117.Section 20(1) and (2) preclude an application for review being made where goods or services have been awarded as set out in section 16. Section 20(3) inserts a new section 122H into the Social Security Administration Act 1992 which allows regulations to provide for the exchange of information between the Secretary of State and relevant suppliers and for the use or disclosure of such information, including provision for a criminal offence for unauthorised disclosure. There is power by regulations to make exceptions to this.
