The legislation has been introduced, and deferred pension is not counted as income for WTC/CTC, or HB/CTB. However it is counted as income for GPC/SPC.
If anyone who defers pension is entitled to SPC (unlikely) the deferred pension will be included in the AIF passed to HB/CTB by the DWP. Hence my question: do HB/CTB have the power to amend the AIF?
