Designed as a reference for those who deal with legislation within the scope of Social Security Appeal Tribunals, this volume covers the disability working allowance as well as income support, family credit and the social fund, and other regulations and legislation up to April 1992.

This 1992 edition of John Mesher's definitive guide to income related benefits will be welcomed by all those who deal with the complex and ever changing legislation within the scope of Social Security Appeal Tribunals. This edition covers the new disability working allowance as well as income support, family credit, and the social fund. Housing benefit and community charge are not covered by the book. All relevant provisions of the three 1992 consolidation Acts are included, with cross-references to and from the "Social Security Acts" 1975 and 1986, as are the many amending Regulations up to April 1992. The full text of all relevant legislation and regulations is covered and where essential to the full understanding of key provisions, definitions of words and phrases are included. The commentary on the meaning and practical application of the provisions embraces the increasing number of decisions of the Social Security Commissioners and the Courts, including the recent appeal to the House of Lords in "Foster" on severe disability premium.
