Petition Exempt the Coronavirus Life Assurance Scheme from capital limits rules

The £60k compensation to bereaved families of frontline NHS staff who have died from coronavirus is not exempt from capital limits rules, meaning that families in receipt will be stripped of any benefits. Government should exempt this, as it has for recipients of Grenfell and Windrush compensation.

More details

NHS families in receipt of benefits should not be penalised for accepting the compensation offered by the Government for the covid death of their loved one whilst in service on the NHS frontline during the pandemic.
It is possible for the Government to exempt this compensation from the capital limits rule, as it has for others awarded similar compensation, i.e., victims of the Grenfell fire and the Windrush deportation scandal.
