Stop the DWP classing War Disability Pensions as income

Stop the DWP classing War Disability Pensions as income

The Issue

The DWP class War Disability Pensions as income. This enables them to cut benefits payments to veterans who have served the country but now have to live with the consequences. 

War Disability Pensions should be exempt from any DWP rule as they are given only to men and women that were willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice for their country and to penalise them is heartless, cruel and flies in the face of the Military Covenant.
