Welfare reform
07 November 2012
This briefing looks at the changes that have been introduced by the Welfare Reform Act and their impact on RCN members.
The RCN Welfare Rights and Guidance Service provides expert knowledge, advice and representation to our members about the complexities of the welfare benefit system and the frequent changes in legislation that may affect them.
We anticipate an increase in demand for advice from our members who will be further affected by welfare reform and the introduction of Universal Credit, particularly those who are disabled people, single parents, those from low income families and second earners who may be worse off under the new system.
