Cease migrations onto Universal Credit for those who are clinically vulnerable

Closed 58 signatures

What the petition asks

We are concerned that some vulnerable claimants are being caused to suffer significant distress, and are being profoundly overwhelmed by the migration process. We believe clinically vulnerable claimants should not be migrated to Universal Credit.
We believe the migration and application process in respect to Universal Credit is and will cause claimants to become overwhelmed such that their safety and wellbeing is at risk.
