CTC 2 child limit
Hello
I thought I had seen some guidance about “blended families” but now can’t find it. Anyone seen it? Got a link?
I am thinking of different scenarios where people get together with children already. For example if 2 people both with 2 children each born post rule changes. Presumably CTC stops for 2 - is it based on age which 2 it stops for i.e is it the 2 youngest?
Thanks
There’s a bit on family formation at page 15 here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-and-families-with-more-than-2-children-information-for-stakeholders
