Effect of Child-related Benefits on Child Poverty and Deprivation: ESRI
2:00 am
Dr. Karina Doorley:
It is complicated because of the number of schemes. If we take things like the carer's allowance and disability allowance, there are different means disregards for those two payments. Adding on another means-tested payment for two families on those two different payments does make things a bit complicated. In some cases, families would lose out.
