Abstract: This is a new section in the New Technology in the Human Services journal entitled Controversial Issues. In it the editors will bring together subject authorities to debate question posed by the editors. In this issue the authors debate the question 'Do welfare benefit calculation systems reduce non-take up?' Gareth Morgan, a director of a software company that produces a wide range of welfare benefit calculation systems,argues why these applications can reduce the amount of non-take up of benefits. Wim van Oorschot, a leading researcher on the subject, outlines why he feels the impact of these programs is minimal. The editors notethe article offers no conclusion to the debate but invite readers to make their own assessment of the issue.
