What the petition asks

Stop all repayments on advanced payment and budgeting loans on universal credit until covid-19 is under control, giving families in hardship £100plus per month extra
My partner works self employed and at the current situation hasn't been affected by covid-19, yes we get a element of universal credit every month but, so we also pay off advanced and budgeting loans £100 plus a month, at the present time I believe the payments should be put on hold and the families get that, so they got enough to get by SURVIVE ,food,gas,electric,fuel for transport for work, extra food activity things as children are home, I bet families already feeling the pinch
