Voluntary payments

Can anyone help with regards to voluntary payments. Is there still a £20 disregard?

CPAG suggests this https://www.onlinepublications.cpag.org.uk/default.aspx?nodeID=F06E34A4-6E5D-4F26-AAF6-4C88AF9D73D5

Entitledto seems to point to any voluntary payment being disregarded https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/benefits-charity

Hi Phil - they are ignored - see pg 432 of the current CPAG handbook - not sure where your CPAG link comes from - is it an older publication? That did use to be the case.

Thanks Daphne. CPAG link came up on Google.

If you look at the top of the screen, that’s from CPAG in Scotland Children’s Handbook and the section you linked to is about income treatment for health benefits.

Well that explains it then. Serves me right for not looking properly. Thanks
