Yes. It was brought to our attention yesterday that the rules - I think it may be a statutory instrument in the UK - certainly disregard any income a person receives if that person has been the subject of historical institutional child abuse in the UK and received money to that effect. I would have thought there would be some form of sympathetic response from the UK in any event. Does Ms Conduit think the communication is going to go from her Department or from the Department of Social Protection to the Department for Work and Pensions in the UK?
