Do not deduct Carer's Allowance or pension payment from Universal Credit
Closed

What the petition asks
The Government should change how Universal Credit is calculated so pension payments and Carer's Allowance is not deducted from a person's Universal Credit payment.
We believe it is immoral to deduct these payments from Universal Credit, where a person is providing unpaid care, or in receipt of pension payments they have paid into during their working life.
