What Reviewers Are Saying
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PURCHASES
FOR ALL ADVISERS INVOLVED IN ANY ASPECT OF THE MODERN SYSTEM OF UNIVERSAL CREDIT
An appreciation by Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers
and Reviews Editor, “The Barrister”
Another 4th edition is now available of this excellent “Universal Credit” handbook which is short, simple and straightforward about what you need to know about the new system. We remain indebted to Daphne Hall, the freelance writer on welfare rights, for her work in this area as editor of Rightsnet and for taking over the new CPAG edition.
Many readers will be aware of the work of the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) and it is right to say that without these excellent titles we, as advisers and users, would find the subject matter much more difficult to deal with because of its complexities. CPAG is a national charity working for the abolition of child poverty in the UK. It also works for the improvement of the lives of low-income families hence the appearance of works of this calibre.
To assist CPAG’s goals, they have developed a high level of expertise in the welfare benefits system. In addition, they use the expertise to give support to the thousands of frontline advisers from the training programmes run by CPAG plus their free helplines giving families the best information and advice available through these practical handbooks.
What we face today is the biggest change to our welfare benefits system in over 60 years with the creation of “universal credit”. Whatever ones views about the system, it will eventually replace most of the current benefits and tax credits for people of working age so we have to know how it works.
Since the first edition appeared, the national roll-out of the system is well underway today. It increases the numbers of people who can claim universal credit including families with children, those in work and those with health conditions. What you get with this handbook is an awareness of the rules on claiming benefits given by the experts.
The book will give you the assistance in dealing with your clients’ queries. What we found most useful about this book is the structure which has remained the same for the new edition. It gives us tactical guidance of great practical value together with many examples showing how the rules apply.
Daphne Hall has updated the new edition to include all the new rules, plus the “two-child limit”. She also gives us the most recent information about online claims, claimant commitments and sanctions.
It’s designed for claimants themselves so you may find it useful if you are thinking of claiming. And you do not need to be “an expert on the social security system”, because the book makes “the law clear and understandable for everyone”. For these reasons alone, it is one purchase which will save you a massive amount of time fathoming the depths of this unnecessarily complex benefits system which “the powers that be” are still trying to simplify and modernise. Thank you CPAG.
The fourth edition of the book was published in 2017.
