A recent government White Paper characterised the UK social security system in 2010 as... ...an array of benefits, each with its own rules and criteria, interacting in complicated ways, creating perverse incentives and penalties, confusion, and administrative cost.(Department for Work and Pensions, 2010: 7) This is a picture which few, if any, would argue with and for at least 25 years, and probably longer, successive Secretaries of State have had the dream of radically simplifying social security and reversing the seemingly irresistible tide of more and more benefits of ever-increasing complexity.Now, in 2013, we have the latest and arguably the biggest and boldest attempt to make this dream a reality -Universal Credit, which is currently going through the very early stages of a long-term programme of implementation
