time its ISSNs will change to Print 1759-8273 and Online 1759-8281. If your

so that they recognise the first renamed issue.
BENEFITS CALENDAR
With the recent desperate recession in the UK, and with a general election
fast approaching, the pace of change in social welfare law and procedures
has spiralled fiercely. The government has tried to anticipate or respond
to a vast range of difficulties and events. Benefits Calendar 3: 2009 aims
to keep readers on top of the many changes in a turbulent year.
