Comes into force in the UK a drastic reduction of social benefits to reduce the deficit

The welfare state in Britain faces more drastic reform of its history and the aftermath of that step will suffer the most disadvantaged. British society has traditionally been proud of a system that combines the postwar period liberality of its market with a strong network of social benefits. The first package of measures approved by the government of David Cameron in order to offset the deficit on Monday entered into force, with a reduction of aid to social housing, more modest families in paying the hefty municipal taxes or citizens without resources to pay court litigation, with a remodeling of health management which prevail strict expenditure control.
Beyond the demands of a precarious economic situation, defended by Cameron cuts pose a philosophy that sees support for the weaker sections as a drag on the recovery.
The reform of the welfare state is a decision "fair" to boost employment, reduce dependence on the state of those who "should return to the labor market" and "help those who really need it", argued in an article published today in the joint Press the ministers of Economy, George Osborne, and Labor and Employment, Iain Duncan Smith.
Article two of the heavyweights of the Cabinet appeared as a response to the wave of protests in recent weeks have taken to the streets of many cities in the UK, and last weekend was endorsed by four Protestant denominations, including influential Reformed Church of Scotland, in his critique of "manipulation [conservatives] to perpetuate the myths of poverty and social justify cuts".
The Government wants to encourage many subsidized seeking employment
Not only the poor but also the middle classes suffered reduced their purchasing power will be because of the loss of social benefits, denounces the Labour opposition, in his effort to characterize the coalition government comprising Conservatives and Liberal Democrats as representative of the interests of the wealthy. The budgets presented in mid-March contemplate a reduction in taxes on this sector, with a further reduction of taxes on higher incomes who pay a rate of up to 50%.
While Duncan Smith claims that the government will not reverse the current welfare system in the last half century, but only "manage" their unsustainable growth, many British families prepare for the black scenario. One who, in the most extreme cases, just brings them aid weekly 53 pounds (62 euros).
A wave of protest marches has toured the country in recent weeks
Among the set of measures that have come into force this April has caused special defense called "bedroom tax", which will tax the residents of social housing if one of its rooms is free. Such is the scrutiny to which they feel subjected assistance recipients today of the British state.
"The room tax. People of working age living in an official protection floor will cut state subsidies if they have a room empty theory, ie exceeding the needs of a family room, without taking into account other uses that may allocate thereto. The Government suggests to those affected by this measure, nearly 700,000 citizens who move to another house with just the right number of rooms, despite the claim of the Labour opposition on the "absence" of alternative homes. "That cruel tax will destroy neighborhoods and people in the hands of loan sharks," claims spokesman of the opposition Labour, Liam Byrne, supported that claim by sector as an essential ecclesial family rooting in a community to avoid social dislocation.
"The unbearable burden municipal. The administration is preparing to reduce support for the 5.9 million families with scarce state resources to cover the municipal tax on housing, one of the heaviest burdens faced by the ordinary citizen. This will increase the monthly costs of those struggling to make ends meet, usually residents of some neighborhoods where the tax rate is higher than in other wealthy parts due to the volume of social benefits that are provided in these areas. The support system managed so far by the Department for Work and Pensions is transferred to local governments, whose funding has been reduced by 10%.
"General decline in social benefits. For the first time in the history of the British welfare state, benefits and credits at the state will no longer couples to the increased cost of living. Starting next Saturday, a measure takes effect during the next three years reduced to 1% annual increase in subsidies, well below inflation. These restricted to a maximum of 500 pounds a week (590 euros) the amount a family can receive from the State Britain, regardless of their circumstances.
Although both pensioners and the disabled are exempt from that barrier of 1%, the first have mobilized against a new tax (the so-called granny tax) on the check you receive every month. People with disabilities will be also affected by the Government's decision to redefine their status: when economic support it because it is not handicap suffering a citizen, but how this affects their life and livelihood. A million people could lose their entitlement to the benefit and how it is interpreted as the semantic difference.
»Health. The state gives starting Monday, the management of health budgets to the respective local medical committees, made up of doctors, nurses and other professionals, for a reform of the public system that critics branded as semi-privatization. These committees will be to decide how to control spending. The measure is particularly shocking when an investigation commissioned by the Cameron government determined that the scandals that have plagued several British public hospitals in recent years, where mortality rates are well above revealed the predicted mean, responded to a policy that prevailed economic performance against patient care.
»Legal Assistance. Labour qualified Monday for "day of shame", following the restrictions came into force on access to legal aid paid by the State. Only those citizens living below the 32,000 pounds annually may seek the support of public money in their cases before the courts, in a move that will mainly affect divorce cases and unfair dismissal. Many claimants will think twice before going to court and at the risk of facing a hefty bill for legal costs. As much savings fencing Cameron's government, justice will no longer be equal for all.
