The UK benefit cap may soon increase as inflation continues to soar.
As reported by The Mirror, the benefit cap for each household was set at £20,000 in 2016, and has not gone up since then. The benefit cap is a limit on the total amount of benefit you can receive, and applies to most people aged 16 or over who have not reached State Pension age.
Around 120,000 households across the UK are currently affected by the benefit cap, with a further 35,000 predicted to join them in 2022 amid the worsening cost of living crisis.
