Universal Credit no deduction of income from the child element!!! Scrap 2 child limit!!!


Universal Credit no deduction of income from the child element!!! Scrap 2 child limit!!!
The Issue
-In universal credit your income affects the amount you get for your children versus the child tax credit you got it no matter your income until £20000.
-However in universal credit all the amount you have earned affects both your work element and the amount u get for your children .
so in universal statement is divided like this :
children £x
couple/single £x
total £x
deductions£x
total£x
-This needs to change so the amount you get to support your children should not be deducted from earnings similar to tax credits
-Also the cap of having benefits limited to 2 children should be scrapped as the cost of living has become so high and even if u earn u have nothing left after the end of the month.You are in such a dark place
