Households Two-Child Limit

Households counted as losing benefit support for a third or subsequent child under the two-child limit. Because the rule applies only to children born from April 2017 onward, more families fall within its scope as time passes. When the count rises, more households are affected; when it falls, fewer are. Great Britain.
