How social security works

"How Social Security Works is a valuable addition to the literature on social security policy. It will prove to be very useful for introducing students to social security benefits, the ways they are administered and their operation. I would recommend that it is read for these purposes." The Journal of Social Policy, March 2012
"Overall the book is extensive, clear, accessible and engaging. It is both through provoking and informative and will no doubt be a key text for students and others engaged with the social security system." Lee Gregory, University of Cardiff
"... a rich source of information ... useful for those who are interested in the general aspects of social security." European Journal of Social Security
"At last! A good, critical and up-to-date introduction to social security. It will be of enormous assistance to students, academics and indeed anyone interested in social policy." Jonathan Bradshaw, Professor of Social Policy, University of York
"A comprehensive account of the principles of British social security delivered in bite-sized chunks beloved by students." Robert Walker, Professor of Social Policy, University of Oxford
