Tuesday 23 June 2026
The Appellants appeal a decision of the High Court, dated 18 July 2025 which dismissed judicial review claims.
The judicial review claim was brought, with the support of the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG), by two mothers who are entitled to Universal Credit and affected by the ‘two child benefit cap’.
They challenged the regulations made in exercise of the Secretary of State’s powers to create exceptions from the ‘cap’. Those exceptions do not apply to their circumstances. The judge dismissed the claims.
