<p /> <p>In December 2014 DWP published a suite of evaluation reports available at
<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/benefit-cap-evaluation" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/benefit-cap-evaluation</a>.
These found very little, if any, impact on homelessness as a direct result of the
cap. The small number of capped households who have been evicted were noted by Local
Authorities as having other reasons (beyond the cap) for rent arrears and also failing
to engage with relevant services; they were considered intentionally homeless.</p>
