As reported by The Mirror, the benefit cap for each household was set at £20,000 in 2016, and has not gone up since then. The benefit cap is a limit on the total amount of benefit you can receive, and applies to most people aged 16 or over who have not reached State Pension age.

Coffey also indicated that the cap was originally intended to be reviewed during each term of Parliament, but this was impacted by the 2017 and 2019 general elections. Speaking to the Commons Work and Pensions Committee, she said: "I’m just getting a bit of advice on that.”
