IB and Occupation Pension

morningall

I am in receipt of IB and DLA High care and Mobility I have learned from a previous employer I am to receive a pension of £148 gross per week.

My question is I spotted this on the DWP website

Pension income rules

If you have a gross pension income of more than £85 a week, the amount of benefit payable will be reduced by half of the excess.
The excess is the difference between £85 and the actual pension income. For example, for a pension income of £100, the excess is £15. The amount of Incapacity Benefit payable is reduced by half of that, which is £7.50.
Exceptions



This rule does not apply if:

• you were in receipt of Incapacity Benefit before 6 April 2001
• your claim is made under the linking rules for Incapacity Benefit and links back to before 6 April 2001
• you receive the highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance

Does anyone know if it means you have to fufill all three of the bulletpoints or only one ie I do receive highest care component of DLA?


thanks for any advice

Does anyone know if my being migrated to ESA will have any effect on this?

The same rules have been carried over for ESA.
