    At the heart of the Tory campaign to reduce the budget deficit has been a wide-reaching welfare reform agenda, the centrepiece of which is the benefit cap. The cap, implemented under the Welfare Reform Act 2012 and the Benefit Cap Regulations 2012, limits the total amount of benefits that a non-working household can receive to L500 per week. This limit applies regardless of family size or circumstances, and was calculated to be equivalent to the average earnings of a working household.
