The new Welfare Reform Bill threatens the
living conditions of people claiming benefits and could damage a
founding principle of the welfare state: that people should be able
to live with dignity and independence.
The changes to the benefits system can be
complex and confusing and could mean significant changes to
people's lives.
We believe it is important for people to
understand these changes and to know their rights in the new
system, so that they receive the benefits they are entitled to when
they need them.
We will be holding two Welfare
Reform Information Events to inform people about the
changes, what they can expect from the new Welfare Reform Bill and
what their rights are in the new system.
The events are open to the public as
well as to SAMH staff and service users.
