The cap, on the total amount of benefits that non-working people aged 16 to 64 can receive, has begun rolling out across England, Scotland and Wales.
Couples and lone parents will now not receive more than £500 a week, while a £350 limit applies to single people.
But critics say the changes will hit parts of the country unfairly, and will not tackle underlying problems.
Those in work who also claim benefits, are not affected by the cap.
"What the job centre staff have told us is that they've seen a genuine increase [in people looking for work] since they've alerted people that they're likely to be in the cap," said the Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who has spearheaded these changes.
Reduce welfare benefits.
Who knew it could be so simple?

I believe most states already have caps that are equal to or lower than those you stated in GB.

You mean other than arbitrarily raising the labor costs and thereby creating less employment, providing more incentive for people not to work, and punishing people for spending money to promote business activity, not much.

Reality: Great Britain caps welfare, sees rise in employment.
Liberal: No! We can't do that! That'll NEVER work!
The left's goal is not, of course, getting people off government dependence. It's getting more and more people on it.

How would adding $170B to the GDP create less employment?
