Social Welfare Law

Provides a statement on who is eligible for benefits, allowances or grants. The book gives advice on assessing an individual's circumstances to see what payments are available, and examines the welfare system for non-means tested and income related benefits. The work shows how to make a claim and provides information for ensuring the process is followed correctly so that time limits are met, all the required details are submitted and full entitlement is forthcoming. It also interprets and analyzes statutes, statutory instruments and cases. The fundamentals of the Social Security system are explained, the rationale for claims and payments is examined, and the adjudication process is set out with the procedure for appeals described.
