The Benefits Cap is too high and requires being reduced from £26.000.00 to £16.000.00 there are not too many working class people earning the benefit cap amount now set at the above amount also, child benefit needs to be reduced and made payable for the first Two Children only, we cant go on paying the enormous amounts for familys of Ten & Fifteen children plus Immigrants and their children when they have only been here a short period and have neithe contributed to this countrys welfare.
