Child benefit should be capped per household at £100,000 not £50,000 per person.
Single households are being penalised for earning over £50,000 and then not eligible for child benefit when 2 people who are living together can earn £50,000 each (a total of £100,000) per annum before their child benefit is affected. It should be £100,000 per household.
It is penalising single parent households.
This should be fair across the board as it is the child who essentially looses out.
In this economy £50,000 before tax and NI is hardly enough to get by on. Where households who essentially have more income (due to duel income) are eligible for the child benefit each month. It should be a cap per household instead of targeting single parent households who are doing their best to provide.
