Stop the migration of people to Universal Credit

Closed 79 signatures

What the petition asks

As a disabled person I’m really scared about Universal Credit (UC) as there is evidence it can make disabled people worse off.
It’s hard enough to go through PIP & ESA assessments. I feel that UC is going to make it harder for us. So I would like the government to pause or cancel the planned migration.

The reason why I want to government to cancel the planned migration is I believe it would make peoples lives worse off and it would make families get into debt or worse.
