Winter Fuel Payment & DHP
Wed 15-Dec-04 11:04 AM

I have been looking at the Winter Fuel Payment Regulations and can't find any provision for it to be excluded from the calculation of entitlement for benefit. I am obviously looking in the wrong place. Could someone please direct me to the correct legislation.

Does this mean that since there is no exclusion contained within the DHP Regulations that this can be taken into account when considering whether to make an award?
