This authoritative volume is part of the essential Social Security Legislation series, alongside companion titles covering Universal Credit, State Pension Credit and the Social Fund (Volume II); Administration, Adjudication and the European Dimension (Volume III); Disability and Sickness Benefits and Scotland (Volume IV).
Volume I serves as both a scholarly and practical guide, focusing on the non-means-tested benefit provisions under social security legislation - excluding disability and sickness benefits, now covered in Volume IV -that frequently raise significant issues before First-tier Tribunals, the Upper Tribunal, and the courts. Issued to all judges and tribunal members, it delivers key source materials and authoritative commentary on this complex and evolving area of law.
Comprehensive coverage includes:
- Contributions, credits and home responsibilities protection
- Matters common to several non-means-tested benefits (persons abroad, computation of earnings and dependency)
- Bereavement benefits, retirement pension, state pension and graduated retirement benefit
- "New Style" Jobseeker's Allowance
- Child benefit and guardian's allowance
- Maternity allowance and statutory maternity pay
- Statutory paternity pay and statutory adoption pay
- Statutory shared parental pay
- Statutory parental bereavement pay
- Neonatal care pay
- Tax-free childcare and free childcare for working parents
The text includes all relevant statutory material - complete with the date and effect of amendments - alongside expert commentary that reflects decisions of the courts, the Upper Tribunal (formerly the Social Security Commissioners), and definitions of key statutory terms. Handy tables of Upper Tribunal decisions, court cases, and Commissioners' decisions from 1948–2009 provide quick, reliable reference points. The volume also tracks the latest developments in Upper Tribunal jurisprudence, offering ongoing clarification on entitlement conditions across benefit categories. this guide is essential reading for tribunal judges, members and personnel, solicitors, welfare advisers, and students engaged with UK social security law.
