answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2021 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to make changes to the benefit cap. The Benefit Cap restores fairness between those receiving out-of-work benefits and taxpayers in employment. Helping claimants back into work, including through delivery of our Plan for Jobs, remains a primary focus. Returning to employment will significantly increase the likelihood of a household not being affected by the cap, as it does not apply where households have monthly earnings of at least £617.</p><p> </p><p>The Government firmly believes that it is in the best interests of children to be in working households where possible because work, particularly full time work, substantially reduces the likelihood of being in poverty.</p><p>Claimants can approach their Local Authority for a Discretionary Housing Payment if they need additional help to meet rental costs.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 21/04/2021 14:19:12 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2021 answer text <p>The government have provided more than £280 billion of support to protect jobs and livelihoods. We have delivered extensive support packages for businesses and the self-employed, including SEISS, bounce back loans, and business interruption loans. In addition to this for self-employed people claiming Universal Credit, we have suspended the application of the Minimum Income Floor (MIF) until April 2021. This means that that a drop in earnings due to sickness or self-isolation, or as a result of the impact of the outbreak, will be reflected in a claimant’s award.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 03/02/2021 17:45:35 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies previous answer version 79061 answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
