Show Notes
Starting April 6th, the UKs Universal Credit two-child limit is being scrapped, allowing families like Heather MacMichaels to receive benefits for all their children. This change could inject an extra £1,200 into Heathers household each month, easing financial strain. The policy, introduced in 2017, has been controversial, with critics arguing it unfairly targeted low-income families. The move is expected to lift 550,000 children out of poverty, but the benefit cap remains, potentially limiting full gains for some.
