Welfare Reform Act 2012 (2012 c 5)

The Welfare Reform Act 2012 initiated significant changes to the UK's welfare system, focusing on reducing dependency and simplifying the benefits structure. Its key highlight was the introduction of Universal Credit, which amalgamated six means-tested benefits into a single payment to streamline the process and ensure work incentives. The Act also revised Disability Living Allowance, replacing it with Personal Independence Payment, aimed at better reflecting the needs of disabled individuals. These reforms sought to address fraud, reduce administrative costs, and encourage employment, as part of the government's broader economic strategy.
