A story that says it all

Having read the link, it does seem strange that if you have children before you take on the upbringing of siblings then you receive the money, but not if you have them afterwards.
It sounds as if this is ongoing in Parliament, and hopefully it should be put right for carers in this position.
The two child limit was to stop those women who sat back and had lots of children while never intending to work again, and apparently is having some effect on that problem, but these carers cases are a different kettle of fish, and as it stands, are unfair.

I'll do the link but you know how some people hate them. Of course the DWP have the full facts - the young woman has appealed twice. The anomaly was pointed out to the Government nearly a year ago and have done nothing to correct it.

Hard to comment on this story without a link.

Are they aware that her siblings are siblings, or is it confused thinking they are her own children?Or, if they do know the full story, has she already had all the benefits allowed one way or another?Tbh it’s one of those cases where you need to have all the facts, and rarely do.
