The absurdity and harshness of our benefits system and myths about benefit dependency. I have been a welfare rights adviser for more than 30 years. I act as an advocate for people who have problems with the UK's benefits system. This blog shares my thoughts about the system, the politics of welfare reform and the injustices that my work challenges. You can see more about me on my website www.neilbateman.co.uk Unfortunately I don't have the resources to provide a public advice service.
