Welfare Benefits (Revised ed)

This book provides an up-to-date text on welfare benefits law in the UK.

It is an effective account of the key principles, with practical insights and commentary on the subject.

The context in which UK social welfare issues arise is also important.

For that reason, there has been further extension in this edition into the territory of community care law, such as giving an outline account of the support given, through services as well as financial benefits, to children with disabilities and special needs, to their parents, and to carers.

As well as current and recent benefits, this updated edition covers developments in: the ECHR and human rights, overpayments, child support and benefits, housing benefits, civil partnerships, state pension, and the role of welfare benefits.
