Social security-The benefits system

Social security-The benefits system


The system in Cyprus has some differences from the system in the UK.In the UK the age of retire is 65 but the British government  is planning to scrap the default retirement age in the UK from October 2011.On the other hand, in Cyprus the retire age is 60 because there is a problem with many people who are not appointed yet.




There are several benefits basic for mothers in the UK if they have a child, such as:
  • Statutory Maternity Pay\
  • Maternity Allowance
  • Health in Pregnancy Grant

In the United Kingdom Jobseeker's Allowance is a form of unemployment benefit that is paid by the government to people who are unemployed and seeking work.
