What the petition asks
ESA is paid to people in need and mostly to people too sick to work, for UC claimants you are penalised £ for £ and are no better off at the end. ESA should be kept a separate benefit for the sick and most in need just like PIP and DLA and if not then UC claimants should not be penalised for this
