Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
As we said in our email, we can’t accept your petition as petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what changes you’d like the Government or Parliament to make to the benefits system.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
