Summary of the Bill
The Bill provides for the introduction of a 'Universal Credit' to replace a
range of existing means-tested benefits and tax credits for people of working
age, starting from 2013. The Bill follows the November 2010 White Paper,
'Universal Credit: welfare that works', which set out the Coalition
Government?s proposals for reforming welfare to improve work incentives,
simplify the benefits system and tackle administrative complexity.
Besides introducing Universal Credit and related measures, the Bill makes other
significant changes to the benefits system.
Key areas
introduces Personal Independence Payments to replace the current Disability
Living Allowance
restricts Housing Benefit entitlement for social housing tenants whose
accommodation is larger than they need
up-rates Local Housing Allowance rates by the Consumer Price Index
amends the forthcoming statutory child maintenance scheme
limits the payment of contributory Employment and Support Allowance to a
12-month period
caps the total amount of benefit that can be claimed.
During the Committee Stage, the Government amended the Bill to provide for the
establishment of a Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission.
