Iain Duncan Smith might have resigned from his post as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions more than three years ago but many are still feeling the impact of his reforms.
The former Tory leader, who christened himself, 'The Quiet Man' during his time at the Party's helm, was responsible for an overhaul of the benefits system that left tens of thousands struggling to cope.
And despite resigning in protest at then Chancellor George Osborne's plans to cut disability benefits in 2016, IDS has always been blamed.
Many of his hated reforms are still in place today, while others have been scrapped following public outrage.
From the Bedroom Tax to Universal Credit , IDS claimed his changes would simplify the benefits system and encourage people to find work.
But in reality, many have been left struggling to make ends meet, relying on food banks and utterly desperate for help.
During the election IDS has been subject to abuse because of the Tory cuts.
He has been sent a dead rat in the post and his office was daubed in graffiti saying 'Tory cuts kill'.
Here's a run down of Iain Duncan Smith's hated legacy
The Bedroom Tax
Officially called the under-occupancy penalty, the Bedroom Tax means people of a working age in social housing who have a spare bedroom lose housing benefit.
This benefit can be cut by between £40 and £80 a month and has forced people out of their homes because they simply can't afford to pay.
Many accuse the policy, which was introduced in 2013, of being a tax on the poor but that didn't stop the government extending it to the elderly in 2016.
Universal Credit
IDS claimed Universal Credit would make the benefits system easier to use.
It replaced six benefits - income support, jobseekers allowance, income-related employment and support allowance, housing benefit, child tax credit and working tax credit - and merged them into one payment.
People then have to pay their costs, such as rent, out of this one payment and it is available to people in or out of work.
However, Universal Credit has been been hit with problem after problem as people struggle to cope.
Delays in payments have left families desperate and finding it hard to feed their families, pay rent and heat their homes.
Zero hour contracts
While he was Secretary of State IDS claimed people on the zero hours contracts were "more satisfied" than those who were working full-time.
He branded the contracts "badly named" and claimed they were only taken by staff who "want that flexibility".
Cuts to payments for disabled people
IDS was the man behind cuts to Personal Independence Payments, which he claimed would "improve the lot" of disabled people.
There was fierce opposition to his reforms with some MPs asking the DWP minister "how do you sleep at night?"
But he pushed ahead anyway and slashed £1.2bullion from PIP by making it harder for those claiming and who struggle to use the toilet or get dressed to qualify.
As many as 370,000 disabled people were left £3,500 a year worse off because of the cuts.
Benefit sanctions
In bizarre claims, IDS insisted people who had been hit hardest by his brutal reforms had THANKED him for taking away their benefits.
He claimed: "Seventy-five per cent of all those who have been sanctioned say it helped them focus and get on.
"Even the people in the job centres think it’s the right thing to do... sanctions are the reason why we now have the highest employment levels ever in the UK, and more women in work.
“What we say is, ‘we’ll give you all the support but at the end of the day we expect you to do something for it: go back to work, take the job, take the interviews’. And it works, talk to any of the advisers in the job centres.
“The Labour Party had sanctions. We haven’t actually changed the sanctions regime. It’s just a classic buzz from the Left.
"These are just political campaigners – they leap up and down on everything. These people are never going to vote for us. You have to understand, these people hate us."
Work assessments
Humiliating and stressful work assessments were introduced by IDS.
They required people to "prove" they were too sick or disabled to work - and IDS claimed they "helped".
He insisted: "The idea is to get people assessed so that we can find out those whose conditions have improved can then seek work, and many are going back to work now, and those who need full support get that full support."
Scrapping child poverty targets
His reforms did away with the legal requirement for the government to try to reduce child poverty.
It also redefined child poverty to be measured by the number of GCSEs a child holds, and the level of worklessness in their household - instead of the income based measure used by all other developed countries.
He defended the changes by saying: “Due to a lack of adequate measurement, it has been possible to ignore the true level of poverty – not just measured by a calculation of relative income, where you are considered to be in poverty if your income is below 60 per cent of median income.
“But rather, in assessing the barriers people face to improving their own situation – whether that be problems of debt, relationship breakdown, poor education, addiction, or something else."
Spent £8.5million on a fluffy mascot
For reasons known only to IDS he decided to spend the huge amount of money on 'Workie', a multi-coloured fluffy mascot.
Workie was used to promote pension changes - and was introduced in the midst of the Tories' austerity cuts.
