Veterans injury compensation to be protected and disregarded for benefits!!

Petition Details

If a veteran recieves compensation as a result of an injury caused whilst serving our country - i believe it should be protected and disregarded for benefit entitlement.
Recieving compensation shouldn't effect a veteran claiming benefits inc ESA, JSA and housing when they return to civilian life.

Additional Information

At present compensation is classed as savings. If a veteran recieves over £6,000, their entitlement to benefit may be affected (reduced). If a veteran recieves more than £16,000 then they may not be entitled to the benefit at all.

Veterans should be able to choose how they use their compensaton, and not be turned away for benefits and expected to live off it!

Help protect our veterans and their compensaton by signing my petition in support, thankyou :)
