Government figures show a huge jump in the number of
households hit by the benefit cap since it was lowered in November 2016, with
many areas of the country seeing more than a threefold rise. The number of households capped nationally
rose by 240% (from 20,096 to 68,079). Some places which had small numbers of
households capped until the cap was lowered have also seen dramatic increases. The
impact of the cap has spread far beyond London: before the cap was lowered, the
capital accounted for 40% of capped households but now accounts for 23%. Read
