GMLC calls for all those who want to see the end of child poverty to fight for the end to both of these policies for a fairer, less discriminatory social security system.

Removing the two-child limit but not the benefit cap will help a lot of households - and so it's worth doing, even on its own. But 34,000 families who could be helped by the change won't see an increase in their income if the benefit cap is left in place.

GMLC meets people this policy affects regularly, usually single mums with young children. Often, the people we meet are facing eviction, homelessness and debt. The policy hits single parents hardest, and there is often no way out.

Those families in the deepest poverty tend not only to be affected by the two-child limit, but the benefit cap as well. The benefit cap is a separate policy which limits the total amount of benefits a household can receive to a maximum of £1835 a month outside London.

However, now that the two-child limit is up for debate, GMLC urges ministers and commentators not to forget the detrimental effects of a second punitive benefits policy - the benefit cap.

GMLC wholeheartedly supports calls to scrap the limit. Many of our clients are living on reduced amounts of income as a result of the two-child limit, leading to hardship. This includes disabled parents and others who struggle to secure employment to improve their incomes.
