Abstract
The collection consists of transcripts of semi-structured qualitative interviews with 101 people who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, gender-queer, queer, or asexual, who live in Great Britain and had claimed any welfare benefit between 2014 and 2023. The interviews were carried out in 2022-2023. Topics covered include: what benefits they had claimed; their experiences of administrative processes and frontline encounters; financial management within their household, and financial coping; savings behaviour and any assets owned; whether they had experienced discrimination for being LGBTQ+ in the process of claiming benefits.
