Download or read book The Social Security Miscellaneous Amendments No 4 Regulations 2008 S I 2008 No 2424 written by Great Britain. Social Security Advisory Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed regulations would reduce the time for claiming Pension Credit and Housing Benefit/Council Tax Benefit for those who have attained the qualifying age for Pension Credit, from 12 to 3 months, and reduce the period for which claims to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (HB/CTB) for customers of working age may be backdated, from 52 weeks to 3 months. The regulations also proposed to extend the period for which Pension Credit customers may retain entitlement whilst temporarily absent from Great Britain from 4 to 13 weeks. The Department for Work and Pensions aims to save £260 million by these changes, and to make the administration of the benefits more efficient. The Committee broadly welcomes the changes to the rules on temporary absence abroad, but is not convinced of the case to generate savings by reducing entitlement to HB and CTB and Pension Credit for some of the Department's most vulnerable and excluded customers. The changes will increase indebtedness and evictions, and the Committee believes the economic cost of increased possession proceedings (including the costs of re-housing and other services) have not been factored into the Department's calculations.
Download or read book Obligation and Commitment in Family Law written by Gillian Douglas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tension lies at the heart of family law. Expressed in the language of rights and duties, it seeks to impose enforceable obligations on individuals linked to each other by ties that are usually regarded as based on love or blood. Taking a contextual approach that draws on history, sociology and social policy as well as law and legal theory, this book examines the concept of obligation as it has been developed in family law and the difficulties the law has had in translating it from a theoretical and ideological concept into the basis of enforceable actions and duties. Increasingly, the idea of commitment has been offered as the key organising principle for the recognition of family relationships, often as a means of rebutting claims that family ties are becoming attenuated, but the meaning and scope of this concept have not been explored. The book traces how the notion of commitment is understood and how far it has come to be used as a rationale for imposing the core legal obligations which underpin care and caring within families.

This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the importance of legal frameworks in laying down governance and accountability frameworks, clarifying the responsibilities of relevant public and private entities and defining the long term and budgetary commitment of states, the capacity of countries to adopt and enforce laws in pertinent areas is crucial to reducing rural poverty. Countries have signed up to international and regional instruments that are of relevance to rural poverty and have adopted policies and legislation in these areas. However, a number of normative, institutional and operational challenges exist in different countries. These include regulatory gaps in some areas such as social security for agricultural workers; the existence of laws that sustain discriminatory practices, for example, in relation to inheritance of property; and inconsistencies in norms and institutional mandates in the area of natural resource governance. Even with relatively good laws, their practical implementation may be wanting due to limitations of capacity to implement them. These problems would require a range of measures on the part of state and non‐state actors, including the adoption or revision of laws as well as awareness‐raising and legal empowerment. This legal paper explores the significance of legislative frameworks to poverty reduction efforts, with a particular focus on human rights. It highlights sectoral areas for legislative intervention and identifies normative, procedural and institutional challenges that states encounter while implementing poverty reduction programmes. It further refers to examples from state practice and provides recommendations on how relevant actors can make use of legislation to address rural poverty.
