Our benefits system is experiencing the biggest reforms for 60 years. The amount paid for
Local Housing Allowance
is being reduced this month. A range of other changes are also taking effect, including tests for people claiming Employment and Support Allowance and new rules about Tax Credits and the Sure Start Maternity Grant. In the longer term, the
Welfare Reform Bill
includes plans to reform Disability Living Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, combine means-tested working age benefits and introduce a household benefits cap. Paul Lewis was joined by: • Eddy Graham,
