Stop War Pension from being treated as an income by the DWP and taxed by HMRC.
Rejected

What the petition asks
I work as a ssafa volunteer and have come across servicemen and women struggling to live that have come to us for help. Often elderly veterans do not qualify for certain benefits as they appear to earn over the shreshold because they are in receipt of war pension. Job seekers are also affected.
Due to privacy of information details of cases can't be shown but could be provided by ssafa.
