He told the Conservative conference the cap would be set at the amount "the average family gets for going out to work", which is about £26,000 a year.

It would also would include carer's allowance and industrial injuries disablement benefit - although it would not include one-off benefits such as social fund loans and non-cash benefits such as free school meals or working tax credits.
