What the petition asks
I waited a week after my last payment from work (paid weekly) any money I earned that last period was taken off the next months benefit. I have had no rent or money for 8 weeks. there are thousands of people at risk because of this shoddy system with more holes in than a cheese!
Just look up universal credit complaints on Google and Facebook it's shocking! We will have food stamps next! Putting people in debts. it scares me to take a job because any money gets taken off the following months benefits. I thought you were supposed to help people not ruin them?.!
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what changes you would like to be made to the Universal Credit system.
