Families with two children will be over £1,000 worse off by the end of 2015 as a result of the government's decision to freeze and then cap child benefit, according to a report published by the TUC at the end of December.
The study - Child Benefit: a bad case of neglect? - shows that just by preventing child benefit from rising in line with RPI, the Treasury will be leaving all families with two kids still in receipt of child benefit some £1,079 poorer.
