Unemployed Families Face Cap On Benefits

Wasn't sure wether to post this in the 'child benefit thread ' so if any admin staff wish to merge it then feel free

Quote:
The amount of benefits unemployed families can claim will be capped to make sure that work pays, George Osborne told the Conservative Party conference.
Unless they have disabilities, families will not receive any more than the average working household earns.
The limit will be £500 per family per week after tax and will leave 50,000 households £93 a week worse off on average
It's a good idea and long past it's due but the jobs have to be there for people to take in the first place
