Does anyone know if the income from the Independent Living Fund (for those in reciept of high rate care) wil be used to assess universal credit entitlement ie will it be treated as income! Many thanks.

Draft UC Reg 68 says a payment of compensation or support in respect of the ILF is disregarded (both as income and capital.)


(But these are only draft regs, of course.)
