To confirm what Mr. Hession just said, there will be no cap on additional needs payments in 2026, as we tackle child poverty. This is a huge issue for me, as I am sure it is for other Deputies and Senators. When people present to a community welfare officer, their applications will be treated and there will be no cap on the payments.
