:''This is about the defunct U.K. department. For current U.K. and other nations, see Ministry of Social Security'' The Department of Social Security (DSS) is a defunct governmental agency in the United Kingdom. The old abbreviation is still often used informally. Advertisements for rented accommodation often describe prospective tenants who would be paying their rent by means of Housing Benefit as "DSS" tenants. ==History== After the Fowler report, the Department of Health and Social Security separated during 1988 to form two departments, one of which was the DSS. During 2001, the department was largely replaced by the Department for Work and Pensions, with the other responsibilities of the department assumed by the Treasury and the Ministry for Defence. Beginning in 1989, the department was subdivided into six executive agencies - firstly into the ''Resettlement agency'', in 1990 ''ITSA'' (Information Technology Services Agency), the ''Benefits Agency'' and ''Contributions Agency'' in 1991, the ''Child Support Agency'' in 1993 and the ''War pensions Agency'' in 1994.〔 As part of the then UK government's spending review (March 1998),〔(transcription of DSS:July 1998 ) - Archive of The Treasury Dept. of the government of the U.K. of Britain Retrieved 2012-06-06〕 a paper ''New Ambitions for our Country: A New Contract for Welfare'' (1998) announced plans to increase efficiency ("streamline") in the administration of ''benefits'' from policy of social welfare, plans subsequently adopted as the "single gateway to benefits".〔secondary - G Duncan, T Eardley, M Evans, P Ughetto, W van Oorschot S Wright - (Towards 'Single Gateways'?-A Cross-National Review of the Changing Roles of Employment Offices in Seven Countries )〕 The Welfare Reform and Pensions Act of 1999 〔J Fulbrook (DOI: 10.1111/1468-2230.00318 ) The Modern Law Review March 2001 Retrieved 2012-06-06〕〔The Crown (legislation.gov) (Table of Contents ) The National Archives - Retrieved 2012-06-06〕 brought reforms to the DSS guided by the principle of 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Department of Social Security (United Kingdom)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
