Disabled facilities grant and War Widows pension
Wed 07-Apr-10 10:22 AM |
I am trying to find out if a War Widows pension should be counted as income for a disabled facilities grant.
Although the person does not receive housing benefit, I think the rules for disabled facilities grant are similar to housing benefit. If councils have discretion to ignore war widows pensions when assessing for HB, do they have the same discretion when assessing for a disabled facilities grant?
Is there somewhere I could see the rules for calculating entitlement, as I cannot find the details on the web.
