Increase the benefit cap in line with increases to state benefits

Petition Details

The government has introduced increases in allowances for Working Tax Credits and Universal Credit. The government now needs to lift the benefit cap by a similar amount, so that the proposed increases filter down to people who need it.

Additional Information

The government has introduced increases in allowances for Working Tax Credits and Universal Credit. However, the benefit cap remains unchanged. This effectively means the increase in allowances will not actually be given to people who need it. The government needs to lift the benefit cap immediately, so people are protected during these difficult times.
