Change childcare funding eligibility to be based on household income up to £200k
Change the criteria for funded childcare so that eligibility is based on joint household income of up to £200k rather than individual thresholds. Current rules exclude many families where one parent earns above the limit, meaning a lot of households and individuals can face financial pressures.
Include Child Maintenance as Income in Universal Credit and Means-Tested Benefit
Child maintenance payment is not counted as income for Universal Credit, allowing some to receive maintenance payments and benefits. At the same time, paying parents must meet their obligations even where those payments reduce their overall household income below the Universal Credit threshold.
Equalise the child benefit with UC child element & expand eligibility
Raise the child benefit for full-time working parents with mortgages to match the Universal Credit child element and expand Universal Credit eligibility to include homeowners with mortgages, treating mortgage costs similarly to rent.
