About 300,000 children live in households affected by the benefit cap, facing deep poverty that limits their childhood activities and basic needs.
Lucy, a mother of five, survives on as little as £65 a week after housing costs. Affordable housing is needed to escape the benefit cap.
The housing shortage exacerbates the impact of the benefit cap, preventing families from accessing cheaper rents that would alleviate their financial burden.
The two-child limit disproportionately affects families, withdrawing support based on sibling count, and receives much more attention than the harmful benefit cap.
