Criminals detained in hospital are set to lose their benefits following a change for which the families of victims of Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane had campaigned.
The campaign by the victims’ families called for people detained in hospital after committing crimes to no longer receive benefit payments. The change is now expected to affect those held in hospital settings under criminal detention arrangements.
The supplied information does not provide details of the benefits involved, the timetable for implementation or how the new rules will operate. It also does not set out the Government’s explanation for the change or any response from people affected.
The latest position is that the policy change is set to take effect, following pressure from the families of those killed by Calocane.
