UK church and charity leaders call for immediate end to two-child limit on benefits, citing devastating impact on families
The Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) and the Church of England are urging the new Labour government to swiftly abolish this controversial policy. Implemented for children born after 6 April 2017, the policy restricts benefit payments to two children per family. Charities argue this rule has plunged many families into financial crisis, with each additional child born after the cutoff costing thousands of pounds annually in lost benefits.
