Welfare Reforms

What is Welfare Reform? 

The Government is reducing the amount of benefits some people can claim and changing the way that many benefits are paid.

Will I be affected?

If you claim Housing Benefit to help pay your rent you may be affected by changes from April 2013. The changes mean that some people will get less Housing Benefit than they did before.

These Changes include:

• Universal Credit
• Bedroom Tax
• Benefits Cap
• Housing Benefit & Changes to Council Tax
