I want to change the law on child benefits for working people,we are struggling

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I work 40+ hours a week and my partner works 30+ hours per week,we have an 18 month old son and we get absolute zero help with childcare costs,we are currently paying 680.00 per month and its getting impossible to feed and live,people with benefits are getting free hours,and us working people get 0

Im so dissapointed that iv paid my tax and ni since I left school,iv always worked and so has my partner,it realy upsets me that us people who work are getting no help at all,sometimes I go to work for a week and end up earning £3.00 per day,i dont expect people to struggle on benefits,but why should we struggle and we work 70+ hours a week,iv recently learned that people on benefits dont even use the free childcare hours,why cant us people who work be entitled to the hours that arnt used

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It's clear that you're concerned about child benefit. But we're not sure what changes you would like to see.

You could start a petition with a more specific request for change.
