§ Mr. David StewartTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the treatment of war disablement pension made by each local authority in calculating residential care assessments. [29284]
§ Mr. BoatengThere are national rules for the treatment of income to assess charges for residential care— the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992—which provide that a person must be 497W allowed to retain £10 of their War Disablement Pension, and the remainder is taken into account in the assessment of charges.
