Abstract
Abstract This commentary explores lived experiences of social security and poverty, drawing on qualitative data generated over 11 years, and across four research studies. The research shows clearly the relational harms caused by poverty, inequality and social security delivery which is highly conditional and too often fails to treat individuals with dignity and respect. The commentary details the misrecognition and disrespect that routinely feature in claimants encounters with social security, and sets out the importance of policy change that encompasses both redistribution and recognition of the very real contributions made by people experiencing poverty. It is also vital to centre reforms that focus on the relational dimension of social security receipt, and improvements herein.
