Government Benefit Cap 'Based On Myths'

The Government's proposed benefits cap is based on a set of myths, a leading charity has claimed. The Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) published its myth-busting analysis of the Coalition's flagship welfare policy the day after MPs voted to overturn amendments made by Peers and reinstate the original policy proposals. Here are the 'myths' in full, read what the CPAG has to say about them on 24dash.
Myth 1: The cap is just for out of work claimants of benefits
Myth 2: Claimants have more money than working families
Myth 3: Families with a disabled member will not be affected
Myth 4: There will be no behavioural changes and social impacts
Myth 5: The cap will deliver fiscal savings
Myth 6: This is a new policy
