The Old Poor Law of 1834 was reformed because it could not cope due to the large numbers of people claiming poor relief. This was due to population rise, commercialisation of farming which left people with no jobs, decline of agricultural crafts, harvest failures, food shortages due to war, higher food prices and change in attitude to claiming social welfare as there was no stigma attached to being poor anymore.

Peasants no longer had to pay taxes to the Church and Nobles, which meant that they didn’t have to just scrape by life, they could enjoy it.
