V Interesting. Now, if a Vet's War Pension is disregarded as far as UC is concerned, why on earth do the DWP only disregard £10 of mine on ESA? Surely the same rules should apply. Do you think that there is something that the Vet's Agency or RBL could do to help Vet's on legacy benefits to get the money back that they take off us??!!  Anybody had any dealings with this?

You've asked your question on the end of someone else's thread, please start your own because it causes so much confusion.

I know. I thought that here was a good place to ask the question as anyone searching for War Pension may see it. I'm a bit new to this.  I wouldn't have thought that most peeps would become overly confused by it. Chill poppy12345. I will see if I can work out how to start my own thread...

LuckyPhil unfortunately you get some people on here who think there board guides and will talk down to people who do the hideous crime of posting on someone’s thread.
Anyway my friend to comment on what you originally asked, yes it is barking how legacy benefits and UC are so different concerning War pensions but unfortunately on ESA you really dip out if you get a War pensions.
Have you looked at any benefits calculators to see if you will be better off on UC.
Maybe get in touch with the RBL who have got some fantastic benefits advisors.
Any other questions just ask on here as like you said all questions are linked in some way and will hopefully help other veterans.

FYI i wasn't talking down to the person! I'm not the only person to ask someone to start their own thread because it causes confusion!
