Welfare reform Forum

Come along and find out more about changes that are being intorduced by the Government and what they mean to you.

Under the Welfare Reform Bill the Government is proposing:

• To reduce housing benefit for customers deemed to have a 'spare bedroom'
• From October 2013 the Government plans to pay benefits direct to the customer, removing the easiest way for you to pay rent.
• Changes to Disability Living Allowance will mean that 500,000 will no longer be intitled to receive the benefits.

Some of these changes are expected as soon as April 2013.

Find out more about how these changes might affect you by coming along and have your say during the question and answer sessions.
