uin	10318
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The information requested is not available. This is because, as set out in the Impact Assessment of the behavioural effects of the cap; all households who move into work will be unaffected by the changes. Additionally, for many people who will be affected by the cap, these reductions are notional changes in entitlement rather than actual cash losses i.e. those who become capped once the policy is in place will not see a reduction in their benefit, just a lower maximum limit on the benefit they would otherwise have been entitled to.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 18/09/2015 12:16:04 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
