IDAOPI Score by LSOA (2015) Overall Ainsdale has a lower than average level of all deprivation types, however, there are small pockets of residents within the ward who are worse off than others.

Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme (ELAS) Within Ainsdale there is a lower level of reliance Applications on most forms of benefits; however the new reforms may lead to a potential reduction in Ainsdale Application Status Count Ward Sefton household income for some of the more Total Applications 94 vulnerable residents in the ward.

Not Approved 37 39% 30% The reduction in household income may also have a knock on effect on local businesses and landlords.

The Welfare Reform Act introduced major changes to the national benefits system. As of November 2016 the benefit cap on household income was reduced from £26,000 per annum to £20,000 per annum. This was in addition to the already implanted reforms of the ‘bedroom tax’ (a reduction in housing benefit for occupants of rented housing who have more rooms than they are deemed to require); and council tax reduction scheme (the personal capital limit has been reduced from £16,000 to £6,000 for council tax liability meaning unemployed working age people, 16-64, with less than £6,000 being liable to pay 20% of the annual council tax bill). Along with the changes in limits and accessibility the way benefits are paid is also changing. Universal Credits is being introduced as a single means-tested benefit paid to people of working age replacing JSA, ESA, IS, HB, WTC and CTC. Personal Independence Payment is replacing DLA, it is a benefit for people aged 16-64 with a long- term health condition or disability that means they have trouble getting around or need help with daily living activities. These changes in the welfare reform system are going to have varying impacts across Sefton wards.
