Recommendation 10
10
Paragraph: 62
Analyse support for families with children and account for family size in future payments.
Recommendation
While the UK support has been relatively generous compared to other countries, other countries have issued specific support for families and children, which the UK Government has not. Given the flat rate nature of the cost of living payments, the Government should conduct an analysis of the value of the support received by low- income families with children compared to the support received by single people and couples. Further, future cost of living support payments should take account of family size.
