Welfare conditionality says that in order to receive certain benefits citizens must fulfil certain criteria or behavioural conditions. This dissertation asks which conditions a just society may impose on citizens' entitlement to public services and benefits. Additionally it asks how the state may assess whether claimants meet those conditions. The thesis will appeal to the concepts of responsibility and dignity to develop an account of permissible conditions that may be placed on the receipt of welfare and services, and the justifiable means the state may use to determine whether a citizen meets those conditions. The dissertation examines current conceptions of dignity and responsibility and argues that these are not sufficiently developed to allow a thorough investigation into the political ideals that ought to inform normative policy-guidance. My research will produce a more developed account of these concepts in order to answer the above questions. Finally, the dissertation will use the developed account of permissible forms of conditionality in order to evaluate existing policies of conditionality in the UK as well as various proposals for reform.

福利条件是指公民必须满足某些标准或行为条件才能获得某些福利。本文探讨了一个公正的社会可以对公民享有公共服务和福利的权利施加哪些条件。此外，它还询问国家如何评估索赔人是否符合这些条件。本文将呼吁责任和尊严的概念，以发展一个帐户的允许条件，可以放置在接受福利和服务，以及合理的手段，国家可以用来确定一个公民是否符合这些条件。本文探讨了目前的尊严和责任的概念，并认为，这些都没有得到充分的发展，让一个彻底的调查应该告知规范性政策指导的政治理想。为了回答上述问题，我的研究将对这些概念进行更深入的阐述。最后，本文将使用的条件性的允许形式的发展帐户，以评估现有的条件性政策在英国以及各种改革的建议。
