Nearly 21,000 households impacted by two child limit and rape clause in Scotland

Shockingly, 1830 women across the UK have had to relive the trauma of rape or coercive control in order to make a claim under the “rape clause”.

ALMOST 21,000 households in Scotland are missing out on vital income due to the UK Government’s “two-child limit” policy, new figures from the UK Government reveal.

In Scotland, 20,740 households in receipt of Universal Credit or Child Tax Credit do not receive payment for at least one child due to the cruel policy. Across the UK, this shoots up to 359,250 households affected.
