Change the Discretionary Payment income cap.

Petition Details

The discriminatory payment income cap is much too low. A disabled family on all appropriate benefits falls much higher in income bracket to the aloud £15,000. This is discrimination against severely disabled families, as these people successfully applied for community care grants and crisis loans.

Additional Information

I myself have spoken to a member of the staff at the Discretionary Payment office and was refused a grant on the basis that my income was too high. The reason for my income being so high was not because of work or anything of the like, was simply because my daughter is so severely disabled and on high rate DLA that she was also entitled to disability component of child tax credit's. That entitlement to the disability component of child tax credit's is what put my and come over. Discrimination.
