Free School Meals
Fri 03-Feb-06 01:44 PM

Can anyone tell me where I find the legislation saying that people can get FSM for their children if they get Pansion Guarantee credit.
s512 of the 1996 Education Act (as amended)seems to refer only to IS and JSA. Indeed CPAG handbook does not mention PGC.

SPC(G) recipients with children should get max CTC and so should qualify for FSMs via the ordinary Education (Free School Lunches)
(Prescribed TC) passporting rules.

Because TC award notices are so useless there is now a direct route to entitlement introduced by

The Education (Free School Lunches) (State Pension Credit) Order 2005
