They also exempt the applicant from <br>the income threshold requirement where the sponsor is in receipt of a specified <br>disability-related benefit or carer's allowance.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 08/07/2014 13:54:02 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
