Thea Jaffe and Kirsty Murray both have three children, but contrasting policies on benefits in England and Scotland mean their lives are very different.
The two -child policy affects 440,000 households, with 1.6 m children between them.
The Scottish Child Payment pays the family 213 weeks for every four weeks for their two daughters.
The Scottish Child Payment has broad cross-party political support.
It cost 430 m in the last financial year , paid for by higher tax rates in Scotland .
Early evidence suggests it has slightly reduced the need for certain families to use foodbanks.
But child poverty levels in Scotland have n’t fallen since the policy was introduced.
