Extract

A report from the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) showed that £900 million a year of social benefits are unclaimed. Supplementary benefit accounts for most of this. Three out of ten people entitled to claim are not getting the benefit which is their due. The lowest take-up rates are among working families with children. Only half of those entitled to Family Income Supplement are receiving it. The take-up of rent rebates by families with dependent children is 58 per cent and of rate rebates 45 per cent.
