What parent say
This independent guide changed everything for us. We were missing out on extra Universal Credit for our third child until I saw the 2026 update here – no more two-child limit! The steps were clear, all links went straight to gov.uk, and it was completely free. Now we have hundreds more each month for our family. Thank you so much!
