Yes on individual benefits ,there is nothing stopping the total of all benefits going way above the average wage .For example a couple with 8 kids living in a private rented house in westminster can get £8000 pm in HB and with all other benefits combined will be about £35-40000 per year .The new cap will stop that and keep the total of all combined benefits below £26,000 .This does not apply to some disability benefits though ,they remain untouched
