The amount of childcare for which families on benefits can claim back will increase by hundreds of pounds from the end of June, under government’s plans to tackle inactivity and help grow the economy.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is set to raise the amount on 28 June, meaning parents eligible for help through Universal Credit will be able to claim back up to £951 for one child and £1,630 for two or more children.
