Review Of The Independent Living Funds (EDM1373)

Review Of The Independent Living Funds

EDM number 1373 in 2006-07, proposed by Martin Horwood on 27/04/2007.

That this House believes that partners of disabled people should not be required to use their own savings to pay for their partner's care; expresses concern at the current rules governing the distribution of the Independent Living Fund (ILF), which only allows support to be given if the combined savings of a disabled person and their partner are below an Â£18,500 threshold; welcomes the recent publication of the government-commissioned Review of the Independent Living Funds; supports the review's recommendation that the requirement to take a partner's benefits and capital into account in assessing an ILF recipient's means should be removed; and strongly urges the Government to adopt this recommendation at the earliest opportunity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
