From 2010 – 2020, the British government implemented a series of changes to the UK benefit system as part of their austerity (cost cutting) agenda. In 2016 the UK was investigated by the UN who found that “grave or systematic violations” of the rights of disabled people were taking place in the UK. These violations were closely associated with changes to the benefits system.
Museum of Austerity (2021) is currently not available on any services.
