Hi Bridget B
You would need to ask the DWP where this information is. I can't confirm whether or not this is true because it's outside the remit of this forum. I did try to Google it and couldn't find anything on it, nor on the government website. I would not do it until you have confirmation that this information is correct.
Your other option is to try and find a specialist welfare advisor -
