Larger families could gain more than £20,000 if Labour scraps two-child benefit cap

According to official figures, tens of thousands of families with more than one child and ministers scrapped the limit of benefit, thousands of pounds in annual payments.

If the policy is abolished, if the largest families earn more than £ 20,000 compared to the current system, more than 70,000 households will be entitled to receive more than £ 18,000 per year for children’s aids.

Introduced under conservative welfare reforms, the CAP prevents parents from claiming the child’s element of universal loan at £ 292.81 per month for a third or next child born after April 2017.

The numbers published in response to the parliamentary question show that they will benefit from the abolition of 71,580 families with five or more children. This may be suitable for children paying about 15,000 families with six children, about 5,000 seven and ten or more and more than 400 families.

Labor MPs forced Sir Keir Starmer to fulfill the commitment commitment by removing the cover they claim to punish the growing children in poverty. Institute of Financial Research Previously estimated Ending the policy would have removed about half a million children out of difficulty.

However, conservatives insist that the border is a matter of justice for taxpayers, and argues that families of the benefits prevent the families of benefits from receiving more packages than the minimum wage. Nigel Farage also wanted to be scrapped and increasingly isolated the conservatives to defend the measure.

The Prime Minister must find about £ 3.5 billion to finance this movement. Chancellor Rachel Reeves weigh offers, including a pressure to increase gambling taxes from Gordon Brown.

Helen Whatly, Shadow Work and Pension Secretary said: “Without a limit, labor will provide extra benefits to thousands of pounds for household peoples-it is worth paying for more than a year for a year. Not only this is compatible, but at the same time unfair.

“Working people should not go to finance payments of their taxes, but not closed to others who choose more than one child.”
