What does day-to-day life involve for those who receive out-of-work benefits? Is the political focus on moving people from welfare and into work the right one? And do mainstream political and media accounts of the problem of welfare accurately reflect lived realities? For whose benefit? The everyday realities of welfare reform explores these questions by talking to those directly affected by recent reforms. Ruth Patrick interviewed single parents, disabled people and young jobseekers on benefits repeatedly over five years to find out how they experienced the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, and whether the welfare state still offers meaningful protection and security in times of need. She reflects on the mismatch between the portrayal of welfare and everyday experiences, and the consequences of this for the UKs ongoing welfare reform programme. Exploring issues including the meaning of dependency, the impact of benefit sanctions and the reach of benefits stigma, this important book makes a timely contribution to ongoing debates about the efficacy and ethics of welfare reform.

Acknowledgements
This book would be nothing without the contributions of the people I interviewed, who let me into their homes and lives with kindness, enthusiasm and a readiness to share their experiences. A very big thanks to each of you for giving up your time, so often on more than one occasion.
Over the five years spent researching and writing this book, I received invaluable advice and guidance from academic colleagues and friends. Special thanks here go to my three PhD supervisors Nick Ellison, Bren Neale and Simon Prideaux and to Ruth Lister and Tracy Shildrick for examining my thesis and being encouraging about its potential contribution. I would also like to say thank you to all those who read and commented on draft book chapters: Kim Allen, Kate Brown, Laura Cartwright, Stephen Crossley, John Hudson, Dan Silver, Mark Simpson and Emma Wincup. Further thanks are due to the (very) many family and friends who helped with proof reading, although I take full responsibility for any typos that still made it through!
Throughout the book-writing process, I received invaluable feedback from Adrian Sinfield, who painstakingly commented on the whole manuscript. Talking things through with Adrian and Dorothy Sinfield in Edinburgh over lunch or supper helped refine the books focus and proved a great tonic, and I am very grateful to them both for their continued support and friendship. A particular thanks is also due to Kayleigh Garthwaite, who read many chapters many times and was always on hand to provide enthusiasm and positivity much needed at times when my own was waning.
Thanks too to Policy Press (especially Jess Mitchell, Ali Shaw and Laura Vickers) for wanting to publish this book, and for keeping me on track during the submission and publication process.
The final period of writing has coincided with late pregnancy, and I have often worried and joked about which delivery would come first: the baby or the book. In working to get the book submitted before the new arrival (just), I have been a rather impatient, bad-tempered and absent mother and partner. My thanks and apologies in equal measure to Martin, Katie and Liam. It is your love, patience and humour that keeps me going. Thanks also to my parents Bruce and Hilary who provide me with a seemingly limitless supply of support. Special mention to the new arrival Nina who has been a constant and lovely companion in the final proof reading period.
