The impact of the two-child limit continues its relentless rise, over 1.6m children & ~40K more than last year (the year-on-year increase was somewhat offset by end of tax credits in April). As the policy is still rolling out, more children will be pulled into poverty every day it remains in place.

Concerning to see. The government won't get
child poverty falling on their watch while the two-child limit remains in place. Hope the wrong lessons are not being drawn from the past week...

How is DWP defining "an appropriately skilled person"? This can't work without a major rethink of the current generalist work coach model, which simply doesn't work for many ill and disabled claimants. Proper, specialist provision is key here. Temptation will be to do it on the cheap ('redeploy')
