To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether money allocated to people under the Windrush Compensation Scheme is exempted from consideration in means tested financial assessments.
Payments made under the Windrush Compensation Scheme are disregarded in the calculation of Universal Credit and other DWP means-tested benefits.
