The Conservatives ran an election campaign that focused on getting Brexit done (said 23 times in their manifesto) and the dangers Jeremy Corbyn posed (mentioned by name 13 times).
But while those were the headlines, the manifesto wasn't completely silent on their plans for benefits.
So now - with the biggest Conservative majority since 1987 - Boris Johnson's party can push through these plans into law .
And it wasn't all bad news either, with promises to make sure people aren't penalised for having jobs and kinder rules on disability reassessments. Nor was it all good news, with no let-up in the number of people having Universal Credit imposed on them.
This is what was promised in the finer detail of the manifesto:
Most of the big promises from the manifesto were simply policies already in place. The and the change in the work allowance for example.
There was also no hint that the spread of Universal Credit would stop or even slow until problems are fixed.
"We will continue the roll-out of Universal Credit," the Conservatives promised.
The best new feature in the manifesto for people claiming benefit was a reduction in the number of assessments.
"We will reduce the number of reassessments a disabled person must go through when a significant change in condition is unlikely," the manifesto reads.
"Because you should not have to provide repeated proof of your disability in order to receive support."
There was also good news of people taking time off work to care for families and loved ones.
"We will also extend the entitlement to leave for unpaid carers, the majority of whom are women, to one week," the manifesto reads.
There was also a promise to "support the main carer in any household receiving the Universal Credit payment".
But there was no let up for people seen to be abusing the system.
"We will make sure those who cheat the system by committing benefit fraud are punished. There is no excuse for exploiting others who have worked hard and paid in," the manifesto reads.
Benefits for older Brits
Promises to older Britons were more generous.
The state pension triple lock - which guarantees pension payouts will rise by at least 2.5% a year, or more if average earnings or inflation are higher - stays.
As do other payouts aimed at people past state pension age.
The Tory manifesto reads: “We will keep the triple lock, the winter fuel payment, the older person’s bus pass and other pensioner benefits.”
However, we still don't officially know what next year's rise is - with the timing of the election meaning there's been no Budget this year.
Aegon's Seven Cameron said: “Rather than keeping state pensioners in suspense, we’re calling on the Government to spread some pre-Christmas cheer and confirm what’s expected to be an inflation busting 3.9% increase."
AJ Bell personal finance Laura Suter said: “Rather than introducing new pledges, the Tories have instead promised to maintain benefits for older people."
She added: “The big uncertainty is what the Conservatives will do with the TV licence. In their manifesto they continued to foist the problem of free TV licenses for over-75s on the BBC, saying they support maintaining the benefit but that the BBC needs to fund it.
"However, since then Boris Johnson has come out to say he wants to look at whether the entire TV licence system still makes sense."
