Asked

What assessment she has made of the adequacy of the welfare system in supporting families with disabled children.

Families with disabled children get an extra amount of Universal Credit of up to £487.58 per month, no matter how many children they have. This increased in line with inflation. If they are receiving Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment, they are also exempt from the benefit cap.
