WAR PENSIONS AND INCOME-RELATED BENEFITS

Tabled by Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) 34 signatures

The motion

That this House calls on the Government to change the rules for income-related benefits, including income support, income-based jobseeker's allowance, housing benefit and council tax benefit to ensure that the total amount of income from war disablement pensions, war widows' pensions and the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme are disregarded, thereby ensuring that the beneficiaries of these pensions receive the full benefit from them in future.
