Income from war pensions

Do not enter here the c. £90/week payments made to special war widows under a number of enactments from April 1990. (These are usually referred to as "pre-1973" War Widows or as "war widows supplementary payments".) Such payments are wholly ignored as income.

Do not enter here any payment of War Pensioners Mobility Supplement (equivalent to the mobility component of PIP/DLA) which is also disregarded.

Otherwise, enter here any:

war disablement or war widow's pension or analogous compensation
an analogous pension under the social security scheme of another country
a pension from the Federal Republic of Germany or Austria to the victims of Nazi persecution.

Where Constant Attendance Allowance is in receipt

If a relevant person is in receipt of Constant Attendance Allowance then the following elements of their war pension should be disregarded as income (not entered here):

Standard percentage-based war disablement pension
Constant attendance allowance
Exceptionally severe disablement allowance
Severe disablement occupational allowance
Comforts allowance

If that person (in receipt of Constant Attendance Allowance) receives any of the following, however, then these should be entered here as income:

Clothing Allowance
Unemployability Allowance
Invalidity Allowance
Allowance for lowered standard of occupation
Age allowance
Treatment allowance

Where Constant Attendance Allowance is not in receipt

If a war pensioner is not in receipt of Constant Attendance Allowance, then enter here any:

Standard percentage-based war disablement pension
Comforts allowance
Clothing Allowance
Unemployability Allowance
Invalidity Allowance
Allowance for lowered standard of occupation
Age allowance
Treatment allowance

The first £10 of any such payment(s) will be ignored, although the most that can be ignored of these payments and of payments from voluntary or charitable bodies is £20 in total.
