Benefits updater - a half-day workshop

No dates scheduled at the moment

(1.30pm - 4.30pm)

Welfare reform continues to gather pace with the rollout of universal credit and the migration of DLA claimants to personal independence payment, as well as planned changes to the benefit cap, ongoing reform of housing benefit and the localisation of more and more areas of the welfare state.

Our new half-day workshop gives you a chance to explore and discuss the latest welfare reforms, to consider their impacts on your clients and to exchange ideas on tactics with other advisers.

Updated through the year, our new workshop will provide you with the opportunity to -

• find out the latest on the roll-out of universal credit;
• stay up to date with how the personal independence payment descriptors are working in practice
• get the latest on the government's plans for reform of benefits for people incapable of work
• get an update on the latest work capability assessment case law developments
• find out more about the latest bedroom tax challenges
• consider the impact of the planned reductions in the household benefit cap

… and more!!
