Claim: A single mother on the National Living Wage, with two children, who's renting, will actually be £1,600 better off in 2022 compared to 2021 because of recent government changes.
Fact-check: Was the Attorney General right to say that a single mother will be £1,600 better off? - Full Fact
Verdict: ms braverman hasn't explained the figure she gave, which means it's impossible to say for sure how reliable it is. but it appears similar to a figure the treasury has previously used. that referred to the beneficial effect to a mother of some changes in tax and government support. it did not mean that the mother will necessarily be better off overall in 2022.
