Hot Topics - Benefit Rights

The 'Benefit Rights' Hot Topic was set-up as a forum for people working on benefit rights issues to share information with each other, and to advocate for enhancements to the administration of benefits.

Stephen Ruth, from the Benefit Rights Service at the Wellington Peoples Centre, originally coordinated material for this topic.

This Hot Topic is not actively being updated, but is kept for those interested. If you have new material or ideas, please contact us.
