What the petition asks
The Government should issue an extra £150 payment to all Universal Credit recipients to help cover costs over winter, to ensure people can afford food, clothing and heating, as many Universal Credit claimants are extremely vulnerable, and may struggle to afford basic essential over the winter.
Many people are seriously struggling to afford rent, food, clothing, bedding etc which they vitally need during winter. The main priority of the Government should be making sure people seriously struggling can survive through Winter.
