Change the rules of benefit allowances to student nurses.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A nurse student who is in receipt of any benefit that then receives a student loan or financial assistance from any other organisation, has their benefit sanctioned and the same amount of money deducted from their social benefits. I ask government to stop this and give nurses the help they need.

I am a mature (40 year old) student nurse, my partner is disabled and cannot claim ESA (not enough NI contributions) and we are on UC. I receive £4,405 a year from SFW to support me, but this is being deducted from our UC because its classed as earnings? I cannot work because of my contract with the NHS (they paid my tuition fees) which leaves the weekend, but there is no work, covid has closed everything down? I WANT government to look at the way student nurses are treated, we are the future
