| Annotation | Through this consultation, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) seeks views to inform thinking on reforms to the benefits and Tax Credits system, including the idea of a single integrated Universal Credit. The ideas for reform would make it is easier for individuals to understand what they are entitled to, easier for people to make or change a claim, and easier for them to understand how any changes in their circumstances will affect their claim. Among the aims is to target support more efficiently, supporting and protecting those in vulnerable circumstances and in greatest need; and to support the Coalition Government's wider goal of strengthening families, supporting carers and enabling disabled people to have an equal role in society. This document looks at problems with the current welfare system. It sets out seven principles for reform; and how a reformed system would be delivered, for example in tandem with reforms to the HM Revenue and Customs Pay as You Earn (PAYE) system.
