What is the two child benefit limit? Its in the news and often mis-explained, as people confuse three things, so here's a quick primer.
1. It is nowt to do with Child Benefit, a universal payment for every child you have (clawed back from higher earners)
2. The two-child benefit limit, often wrongly called a Cap, means those who get Universal Credit (a benefit for those in and out of work on lower incomes) won't get any additional benefit if they incur extra costs because they've more than two children. This is the one in the news right now.
3. Separately there is also a Benefits Cap - which, in simple terms is a max amount you can get on benefits (including Universal Credit and Child Benefit). The cap for families, couples and single parents is £1,835/mth. Its more in greater London.
So there you go. You've got Child Benefit rules, the two-child limit for Universal Credit and Tax Credits, and a benefits cap. There are lots of ifs and buts. I hope that helped clear it up a bit.
During this, my third stint of Hyperemesis, my body has mostly enjoyed ejecting my favourite foods and ALL beverages. I've literally developed aversions to almost all my favourite drinks (although my beloved @irnbru stands strong 🧡💪🏼) Big shout out to @vimto too 💜...

@theJeremyVine@gnasher1984@richwolves41 I think the danger there is a cyclist getting side swooped by a car from the left or right going when the lights are green.
