Description

Explore the complex relationship between social security and personal social services in this academic study from Routledge. Originally published in 1973, Claimant or Client? examines the role of the Supplementary Benefits Commission within the social work framework. This text provides a detailed look at how means-tested benefit schemes function in practice. The book investigates the concepts of entitlement and rights, specifically focusing on the challenges faced by those administering these schemes. It looks closely at specific groups, such as unsupported mothers and the so-called voluntary unemployed, who present unique difficulties in the system. For many individuals seeking supplementary benefits, the primary requirement is prompt and efficient financial support. This book analyzes how the system meets those needs and the impact on the social work profession. It is a significant resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the history of social welfare systems.
