The welfare is getting some financial assistance from the government or a private organization because of poverty or necessity. According to the Observer “The welfare state is a big part of British family life, with 20.3 million families receiving some kind of benefit (64% of all families)”.
The government tried to help them by reducing the bills in a fair way without attacking people. However, as Mr Duncan Smith sited in BBC "The reality is that successive governments have come in and when they've had a problem they've cut welfare bills and then later on they've ballooned again,".
