The free school meals poverty trap
There's always been the problem with a cliff edge. Not just free school meals, but dental care and prescriptions similar issue.

FWIW the free prescriptions cut off is £15,276 for people receiving child tax credits, nearly double what is being proposed for free school meals (although there is no published information I could find on the equivalent cut off for prescriptions for Universal Credit, which appears to be a bit of a mystery). Also am struggling to find a free school meals cut off for non-UC. It's almost as though they don't want people comparing and contrasting.
Receipt of FSM was also a passport to discounted HE fees - I can't find anything about this now (when you search you just find stats about numbers of pupils on FSM going into HE generally) but I hadn't heard that this had been cut.
