WAR PENSIONS AND INCOME-RELATED BENEFITS

Early day motion 954, tabled 26 February 2010 by Lord Dodds of Duncairn (DUP). Signed by 34 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, DUP 7, Liberal Democrat 5, Scottish National Party 4, Conservative 2, Independent 1, Respect 1.
