Why the two-child limit has to go, in a chart.

Why the two-child limit has to go, in a chart.
A piece from our founder in the @bigissue.com
The majority of people impacted by the benefit cap are single parents because of how its designed.
We shouldn't be targeting one group of people for financial hardship.
It's time for both the two child limit and the benefit cap to go.

The UK cannot just end the two-child limit on benefits. It must end the benefit cap too, writes Ruth Talbot, founder of Single Parent Rights.
Britain’s cruel war on single mums must end. It’s time to scrap the benefit caps

Latest benefit cap data reveals that 69% of capped households are single parent families.
Half of those families have a child aged 3 or younger. Yet are expected to earn what a couple does combined.
The cap must go along with the two child limit in this Autumn Budget.
