(a) DWP has published four impact assessments of the benefit cap, each one including a cost/benefit analysis. The first two relate to the introduction of the benefit cap. The second two relate to the introduction of a lower, tiered cap. They can all be found here: <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/impact-assessments/IA12-003.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/impact-assessments/IA12-003.pdf</a> <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/220178/benefit-cap-wr2011-ia.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/220178/benefit-cap-wr2011-ia.pdf</a> <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/impact-assessments/IA15-006.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/globalassets/documents/impact-assessments/IA15-006.pdf</a> <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/548741/welfare-reform-and-work-act-impact-assessment-for-the-benefit-cap.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/548741/welfare-reform-and-work-act-impact-assessment-for-the-benefit-cap.pdf</a> (b) These cost benefit analyses do not include the specific costs listed in (i) to (iv).
