Old age pensions: Their Actual Working and Ascertained Results in the United Kingdom

There are several legal handbooks dealing purely from the lawyer's point of view with the Old Age Pensions Acts, 1908 and 1911. This little book is not in any sense a competitor with these, nor has it any political object; it is intended to provide for the social student and investigator, for the ordinary citizen who takes an interest in the minor workings of our governmental Providence. And for persons engaged in actual administration, a practical and human account of the actual working and ascertained results of the Acts. First, I propose to deal with the provisions of the Acts; to consider how the conditions operate, how the disqualifications apply, and how the general procedure runs.
