Benefits Briefing – Benefit Cap

ReportsResourcesNovember 19th, 2012

Cuts Watch Cymru looks at the number of people in Wales likely to be affected by the introduction of the Benefit Cap. Between May and September 2012 the DWP contacted households and individuals that they believe will be affected to inform them of the potential change to their benefits. The DWP has since produced a statistical breakdown of those households and individuals contacted.

This briefing examines this breakdown from a Wales perspective to show how many households and individuals in are likely to be affected by the cap, and gives some of the key figures with relation to how much each household or individual stands to lose under the new cap.

Cuts Watch Cymru is an independent coalition of organisations monitoring the impact of changes to social security benefits on people in Wales.
