National Association of Welfare Rights Advisers

[1] Membership of NAWRA is available to groups or individuals working in the welfare rights field and/or who support the organisations aims and objectives.

It has twin aims: Alan Markey, of Coventry Independent Advice Service, is chair of the Association.

[3] Shirley-Anne Somerville addressed the association's conference in Glasgow in 2018 and called on the UK Government to halt the Universal Credit roll out.

In 2014 it identified systematic errors in moving claimants from Incapacity Benefit on to Employment and Support Allowance.

This error was condemned by the Public Accounts Committee in 2018 who said it stemmed from a string of avoidable management failures.
