Charitable & Voluntary payments. Thu 23-Aug-07 09:25 AM
A housing support group which is part of the LA is wishing to support kids doing training with discretionary non returnable payments to cover the shortfall between HB and rent. I think such payments would be classed as income but unsure if they could then be disregarded as "voluntary payments" under Schedule 5 para 35 HB regs and the similar IS & JSA regs.
