Treatment Of Income
Sun 26-Jul-09 09:23 PM |
Recently a colleague (ex-DWP) told me that, at DWP, when assessing JSA, IS, etc, income is looked at ‘forward’. So, for example, a claimant’s wages received on Friday 24.07.09 would be considered as income for the week FOLLOWING that date, whereas in H&CTB we (in this office anyway) would consider those wages as income for the week PRECEEDING that date. Is this right? If it’s right, why?
