Join us in London and Manchester this autumn for our annual Welfare Rights Conference - a must-attend event for advisers committed to learning about and discussing the latest developments in social security.
The benefit cap affects the poorest families. Living in deep poverty is particularly damaging for children’s life chances. Getting rid of the benefit cap would mean that about 300,000 children would be living in less deep poverty.
Scrapping the two-child limit is the most cost-effective way to start to reduce child poverty. It would lift 300,000 children out of poverty and mean 700,000 children are in less deep poverty.
We are keen to speak to anyone who has received a notice from the Department for Work and Pensions informing them that they need to claim universal credit.
