“Will they affect me?” The Government says...
Welfare reforms will:
1.Simplify the benefits system by introducing one benefit, Universal Credit, for all working age claimants. This will be means tested and will replace Income Support, JSA, ESA, Tax credits and Housing Benefit.
2. Make it easier for people to move into work by ensuring work pays and by paying claimants monthly in the same way that salaries are paid.
3.Reduce the amount of money that is spent on benefits, particularly on housing costs.
