Approximately half of the total UK population is in receipt of one
or more welfare benefits, giving rise to the largest single area of
government expenditure. The law and structures of social security
are highly complex, made more so by constant adjustments as the
government pursues its often conflicting economic, political, and
social policy objectives. This complexity is highly problematic. It
contributes to errors in decision making and to increased
administrative costs, and is seen as disempowering for citizens,
thereby weakening enjoyment of a key social right. Current and
previous UK administrations have had a commitment to simplify the
benefits system. It is a specific objective underlying the
introduction via the Welfare Reform Act 2012 of Universal Credit in
place of diverse benefits, although it is not clear that the
reformed system will be legally less complex and better for
citizens to access. The book explains how and why complexity in
modern welfare systems has grown. It identifies the different ways
in which legal and associated administrative arrangements are
classifiable as 'complex, ' and it discusses the effects of
complexity on the system's administration and its wider
implications for rights and the citizen/state relationship. The
book also considers the role that the law can play in the
simplification of schemes of welfare. It makes reference not only
to the UK welfare system, but also relevant policies and
experiences in various other States. Law in a Complex State is an
interesting and topical study for all those interested in welfare
law
