Paul Lewis and guests take your calls on changes to the benefits system.

Paul Lewis and guests take your calls on changes to the benefits system, which started coming into force this month.

Hundreds of thousands of people across the UK are affected by the changes to benefits which started coming into force from April this year. It's part of one of the biggest shake-ups of the welfare system in decades. Changes to housing benefit, a replacement for disability living allowance, a cap on the total amount of benefit that working-age people can receive, and localising council tax benefit, are some of the major alterations.

Do you understand how you might be affected?
Are you clear about what benefits you might be able to claim?

Lee Healey, Managing Director, IncomeMAX
Sally West, Policy Adviser, Age UK
and Jean French, Head of Advice and Information for Carers UK
