This is the history for the submission "Discretionary Housing Payment The award of Disability Allowance is a non means tested benefit paid solely by the DWP to assist disabled people deal with circumstances relating to an individual's disability should not be considered as income for any other purpose. Council notes that the current practice of including DLA in the assessment for Discretionary Housing Payment people with disabilities are less likely to qualify for DHP than other applicants and therefore in breach of the council's own equality policies. Council further notes that currently only one third of the DHP fund has been allocated at 23rd October 2013. Council therefore agrees to disregard DLA in assessing for DHP and look to reimburse those who have been disadvantaged thus ensuring the most vulnerable in our society are protected from the draconian clutches of the Westminster Tory Government. Council further resolves to report on the take up of this fund to the relevant committee twice a year. Proposed by Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn ".
