Ah yes I forgot about that, my aplogies, OP if you earn under £60K a year for 1 person or £120K a year for 2 people you will get £13 odd pennies a week for your second child.

Perfect example of why all child related benefits should be abolished.

Well, its currently the case that some people regard children as cash cows due to the extra benefits that they bring but there are proposals to cap benefits (the entire amount) to no more than the average working wage now it has been discovered that many households with children reap in benefits more than both parents could earn in a full time job...
