HC Deb 04 November 1975 vol 899 c102W
55. Mr. Doig

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will increase the disregard of £1 for those persons receiving a supplementary pension.

Mr. O'Malley

From 17th November 1975 the £1 disregard applying to miscellaneous items of income will, in general, be increased to £4. The disregard for occupational pensions will remain at £1; but these pensioners will be able to benefit from a disregard of other income, up to a further £3.
