Social Security Act 2018

Factors affecting benefits - Factors affecting benefits - Factors affecting benefit: additional dependent child

222: Additional dependent child must not be taken into account in certain cases

You could also call this:

“Rule about extra kids in families no longer exists”

This part of the law was about an additional dependent child not being considered in certain situations. However, this rule no longer applies. On 8 November 2021, the government removed this section from the Social Security Act 2018. This means that whatever this rule used to say about additional dependent children is no longer in effect.
