The number of families hit by the benefit cap in Southampton surged during the coronavirus crisis , figures show .
The Government has ignored calls from charities to suspend the cap , while acknowledging that the pandemic had caused a record rise in the number of households affected across Great Britain .
Department for Work and Pensions figures show 793 households had their benefits capped in Southampton in May .
This was almost double the number capped in February , when there were 408 families who had either their housing benefit or Universal Credit payment reduced .
The cap limits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benefits , and currently kicks in at £20,000 per year for families in Southampton and most of the UK , but £23,000 for those in London .
Across Hampshire the current number of families hit by the benefit cap are double the figures for February .
The number of families capped across Great Britain rose to 154,000 over the period – an increase of 93 % .
The DWP said the rise , which was the biggest since the policy was launched in 2013 , was `` driven by an unprecedented increase of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Universal Credit-capped households , a reflection of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic '' .
The Government has decided to increase the weekly Universal Credit payment by £20 a week between April 2020 and March 2021 due to the pandemic , but Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey said last month there are “ no plans ” to make any changes to the benefit cap system for the same duration .
Jon Sparkes , chief executive of homelessness charity Crisis , said : “ These figures show thousands of people are turning to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , only to discover that the benefit cap is cutting them off from vital support .
“ If we are to avoid a wave of people from losing their homes through no fault of their own , it ’ s vital that the Government immediately suspends the benefit cap so that people have the means to stay afloat .
`` Otherwise we risk all the good work to protect people being undone.
” Homelessness charity Shelter said many `` embattled parents '' , already struggling from the economic effects of the pandemic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possible time .
Polly Neate , chief executive of Shelter , said : “ The desperate calls we are getting from parents left with little to survive on – forced to choose between paying the rent or feeding their children – are a source of deep despair .
“ I don ’ t believe this Government wants to see families left hungry , hopeless and facing homelessness while this deadly virus continues , but this is what is happening .
“ We are in extraordinarily difficult times , this flaw in the welfare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flood of families find themselves destitute . ''
Of those now affected by the cap in Southampton , 70 % ( 558 ) are single parents – compared to 62 % across Britain .
A DWP spokesman said : “ The benefit cap ensures fairness for hard-working taxpaying households and a strong work incentive whilst providing a much-needed safety net of support .
“ We remain committed to helping the most vulnerable in society , which is why we currently spend more than £95 billion a year on the benefits system , supporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @

The Government has ignored calls from charities to suspend the cap, while acknowledging that the pandemic had caused a record rise in the number of households affected across Great Britain.
Department for Work and Pensions figures show 793 households had their benefits capped in Southampton in May.
This was almost double the number capped in February, when there were 408 families who had either their housing benefit or Universal Credit payment reduced.
The cap limits how much households can receive in total benefits, and currently kicks in at £20,000 per year for families in Southampton and most of the UK, but £23,000 for those in London.
Across Hampshire the current number of families hit by the benefit cap are double the figures for February.
They are:
In Eastleigh - 282,
In Winchester - 197
In New Forest - 281
In Fareham - 120
In Test Valley - 178
The number of families capped across Great Britain rose to 154,000 over the period – an increase of 93%.
The DWP said the rise, which was the biggest since the policy was launched in 2013, was "driven by an unprecedented increase of 665% in the number of newly Universal Credit-capped households, a reflection of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic".
The Government has decided to increase the weekly Universal Credit payment by £20 a week between April 2020 and March 2021 due to the pandemic, but Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey said last month there are “no plans” to make any changes to the benefit cap system for the same duration.
Jon Sparkes, chief executive of homelessness charity Crisis, said: “These figures show thousands of people are turning to the benefits system to break their fall, only to discover that the benefit cap is cutting them off from vital support.
“If we are to avoid a wave of people from losing their homes through no fault of their own, it’s vital that the Government immediately suspends the benefit cap so that people have the means to stay afloat.
"Otherwise we risk all the good work to protect people being undone.”
Homelessness charity Shelter said many "embattled parents", already struggling from the economic effects of the pandemic, are losing vital support at the worst possible time.
Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, said: “The desperate calls we are getting from parents left with little to survive on – forced to choose between paying the rent or feeding their children – are a source of deep despair.
“I don’t believe this Government wants to see families left hungry, hopeless and facing homelessness while this deadly virus continues, but this is what is happening.
“We are in extraordinarily difficult times, this flaw in the welfare system has to be fixed before a flood of families find themselves destitute."
Of those now affected by the cap in Southampton, 70% (558) are single parents – compared to 62% across Britain.
A DWP spokesman said: “The benefit cap ensures fairness for hard-working taxpaying households and a strong work incentive whilst providing a much-needed safety net of support.
“We remain committed to helping the most vulnerable in society, which is why we currently spend more than £95 billion a year on the benefits system, supporting more than 7 million people.”

Vehicle traffic has been at an absolute minimum with many people not yet returning to work or shopping.
Despite these conditions a period with 50% of road surfaces withdrawn from use by general traffic has resulted in severe vehicle congestion and, at times, gridlock resulting in a totally unnecessary increase in pollution.
As children return to school and other economic activities return to more normal levels vehicular traffic will increase significantly therefore reducing the percentage of cycle people movements to probably well below one per cent.
Add to this the onset of rain and colder weather and the marginal cyclists will evaporate and once into winter numbers will fall even further. Surely the City Council cannot continue to justify allocating 50% of road surfaces to appease less than one pere cent of road users.
Councillor Leggett would have us believe that the cycle lanes in Bassett Avenue are being monitored, but as the lanes are still in place it must be concluded that the monitoring is not fit for purpose and is not reflecting the disastrous consequences of the cycle lanes.
The only other explanation is that the monitoring is purely a facade and that it has already been decided that the monitoring evidence is to be ignored.
The cycle lanes in Bassett Avenue (and for that matter the bus lanes on the approaches to the city from the east) are an economic and social disaster driving away hundreds, if not thousands, of potential consumers from city centre businesses.
It is now a matter of extreme urgency that the cycle lanes on Bassett Avenue are abandoned.
They have been proved to be unworkable even during lock down.
The increased gridlock and pollution which will ensue in the Autumn is simply unacceptable.

"Were you on a ferry heading to East Cowes from Southampton at 10am? Perhaps you were out on the water on Saturday 22 August, between Netley Abbey and Hythe Pier?
"Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting Operation Orange.
"You can also submit information and visually recorded evidence via the Major Incident Public Portal here: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/44HC20W09-PO1."
