@9MNG9DL6mos6MO
Yes, but if the children beyond the first 2 children were conceived before receiving benefits, benefits can still be received for those children
@9NG8MLY6mos6MO
Child benefits shouldn't be capped at a number of children, as long as they are benefiting the child.
@9ZD2C722wks2W
No, legal citizens of the UK need to be encouraged to have more children as the young population is in decline.
@9SBTMJP3mos3MO
Yes, but increase to three children and advise all families about income, including teaching children in schools about financial responsibilities.
@9QJLGKH5mos5MO
Child benefit should be unlimited and restricted to married couples who have 3+ generations of ancestry in the UK.
@9QH9XLK5mos5MO
Circumstantial - if citizen , single parent working - should go to all kids. If both parents working same but smaller amount to help supplement income or if parent can not work Yes. If just not working for no reasons if they can work, no benefits should be given
@9QD4M5F5mos5MO
Yes, but counted by pregnancy. Thus you would get benefits for 3 children if there was a single child followed by twins.
@9QC2V785mos5MO
Yes but increase to 4 with those family incomes in the higher earning bracket disqualified as they should not be in need of Child Benefit
