Benefit Cap Hits More Than 8,000 Householders

The government's cap on the total amount of benefits a non-working household can receive has affected 8,400 households between April and August. The DWP says 77% of those affected lost up to £100 a week.  Just over half of these were households with between one and four children. The figures only cover those first affected by the cap and do not cover the whole country. The 10-week roll-out was only completed last week. Download the figures from the Govuk website.
