Scrap UC bring back HMRC for tax credits & Local Authority for Housing Benefit

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Food banks are stretched, suicide rates and mental health issues increased and benefit cuts for Disabled , Single Parents and low income working families and Students.
Paid a month in arrears and not knowing the amount that is paid until 7 days prior is a set up to make you fail before you start
The evidence speaks for itself and although the budget announced an injection of cash for those on UC apparently starting next year March 2019.
This is too little and far far too late. How many more homeless, children taken into care and lives lost in these winter months until Spring!
