Parents of children between the ages of three and 12 will have to spend more time working, or looking for work, under the conditions of their benefits
Thousands of families will be affected by a Universal Credit rule change which has now been brought in by the Department for Work and Pensions .
It comes as part of the DWP's wider efforts to get more parents back into work. Measures that have already been introduced under the plans include enforcing more regular meetings with work coaches and increasing childcare payments. Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Mel Stride MP said: “We are pulling down barriers that stop parents working and fulfilling their potential, because we know full-time work not only benefits mum and dad but the whole family too. These changes will support thousands on their back-to-work journey.
The DWP website explains: "If you have children and make a Universal Credit claim, you will need to nominate a lead carer. If you are a lone parent, you will automatically be the lead carer.
