Trending Only 77 percent of CAP clients in receipt of UC or WTC saw an actual increase in their incomes after the uplift. The number of households affected by the benefit cap nearly doubled from 80,000 in February 2020 to 170,000 in August 2020. Dr Rita Griffiths and colleagues highlight two groups most impacted by the benefit cap: parents with high rental costs and larger families with three or more children. Both groups are among the poorest in society. At time of writing - January 2021 - the benefit cap’s nine-month grace period is due to come to an end for the thousands of people who first applied for UC at the start of the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020.
