A Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefit cap is set to cut peoples earnings by £65 per week.
The move has been described as "cruel and truly catastrophic" by campaigners, as reported by Lancaster Live. With benefits due to rise by approximately 10 per cent in April next year, people may see this as a positive.
However, the cap will mean that more than 100,000 may not see a single penny of the rise. Child poverty campaigners have called on Prime Minister Liz Truss to scrap the benefit cap.
