SNP urges UK PM Rishi Sunak to end the two-child benefit cap, introduced in 2017, claiming it harms families.
The SNP is urging UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to end the two-child benefit cap, introduced seven years ago, claiming it has caused unnecessary suffering to families. SNP MP Alison Thewliss has called for a commitment to scrap the policy, which prevents families from claiming benefits for a third or subsequent child born after April 6, 2017. Critics argue the policy has caused harm to women and children, while the UK government claims it ensures fairness for families on benefits.
