Please see link below to the Scottish Government’s plans for welfare in an independent Scotland, which includes:
• Abolish the ‘Bedroom Tax’.
• Replace the current system of sanctions with one that is fairer, more personalised and positive.
• Establish a National Convention on Social Security at the start of 2015.
The Scottish Government will also carefully consider the Group’s other recommendations. These include:
• Replacement of the Work Programme with new initiatives developed in partnership with those out of work to help them find, and stay in, employment.
• Introducing a new Social Security Allowance that would bring together existing benefits but which would exclude Housing Benefit.
