Benefits and pensions increase as two-child cap ends

What happened: The UK government has ended the two-child limit on certain benefits, leading to an average annual rise of £4,100 for families with three or more children.

Why it matters:

  • Families with larger households will receive more financial support.
  • Pensioners and other benefit recipients will also see increased payments.

MNN Take: Removing the two-child cap means more families can access higher benefit payments, easing financial pressures for those with multiple children.
