War Pensions And Income-Related Benefits

EDM number 954 in 2009-10, proposed by Nigel Dodds on 26/02/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Benefits policy and Veterans.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
