Clues

  • financial and other support provided by central government agencies, such as the state retirement pension and contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (8, 8)
  • financial and other support provided by local councils, including housing benefit, council tax benefit, education benefits and social services (5, 8)
  • financial and other support targeted at those in most need on the basis of a means test (9, 8)
  • financial support available to anyone who meets certain criteria, e.g. Child Benefit is paid to anyone who has responsibility for a child no matter how rich or poor they are (9, 7)
  • long-term dependency on welfare benefits and the deliberate avoidance of work (10, 7)
  • people who are neither in work nor actively seeking work (12, 8)
  • the percentage of economically active people who are unemployed (12, 4)
  • the use of a means test (or an income test) to assess whether a person needs financial support before they receive help from public funds; how much money they get (if any) depends on their income and savings (5, 6, 8)
  • the way people behave towards others about whom they hold prejudiced attitudes; unequal treatment given by one group of people towards another (14)
  • those aged 16 and over who are either in work or actively seeking work (12, 6)
