Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to see changes to entitlements to certain payments or allowances, but we're not sure what eligibility criteria you want to be set, or what payments and allowances you want this to apply to.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
