Abstract
This paper presents the lived experiences of individuals with mental illness as they navigate the benefits landscape in an age of welfare reform in the UK. We focus on the impacts upon their well-being and daily geographies. We articulate the relationship between welfare reform and mental health using the concept of poverty management and its ‘missing geographies’, in which everyday well-being and routines are dismissed by the restructuring welfare system. We liken this dismissal to a shift towards a narrower and more unforgiving mode of poverty management, where even the smallest misstep can unravel the entire edifice of everyday survival and well-being.
