R (on the application of SG and others) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
R (on the application of SG and others) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions was a 2015 judgment by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom where by a majority of 3-2 the court ruled that the welfare cap, a British government policy limiting welfare benefits, was legal.〔https://fullfact.org/factcheck/law/supreme_court_didnt_endorse_benefit_cap-40983〕 The welfare cap limits British social security benefits to £500 per week regardless of the number of children in a family and the level of local rents. The case was brought on behalf of two single mothers. One known as SG was the mother of six children the youngest of whom is four years old. The second mother known as NS had three children and had a marriage with a long history of sexual abuse and domestic violence. The Supreme Court did however rule that the cap breaches United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.〔http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/mar/18/uk-benefit-cap-is-lawful-supreme-court-rules〕
==Reaction==
The judgement was criticised by the Child Poverty Action Group. Their chief executive Alison Garnham said: As three of the judges have said it cannot be in the best interests of the children affected by the cap to deprive them of the means of having adequate food, clothing, warmth and housing. We hope the government will listen to the court and comply with international law on the protection of children.
