• Scope and Content

  Collection of leaflets arranged in alphabetical order by reference code, beginning with BAL1 ('Tell us about it') and ending with Z3 ('Compensation recovery scheme'). Within leaflet type, in reverse chronological order.
  Replicates the original arrangement. Note however that Nancy Tait's instructions for how new leaflets were to be listed was 'by title - alphabetically' and to 'give leaflet number & date, i.e. (1) Attendance allowance, (2) DS 702, (3) Nov 2002'.
  SPAID/OEDA collected benefits leaflets widely. Retained here are those relating directly to the organisation's core activities, such as NI 3 ('If you have pneumoconiosis or byssinosis’) or FB 29 ('Help if someone dies’), while leaflets with no specific relationship with the charity, such as D11 ('NHS dental treatment’) or CWP1 ('Extra help with heating costs’) have been disposed of.
