Change Universal Credits to help the newly self employed

Petition Details

Universal credits for the self employed is only available in limited parts of the UK and people are advised to use working tax and housing benefits if not in these areas.

Due to this new business owners are left with no income when trying to match their overheads in their starting months.

Additional Information

There are many new businesses starting every day with help from government bodies such as the Princes trust but there are no options available to these businesses for help with living costs or travel which can result on debt and loss of business

The age gap on working tax credits and the restrictions on benefits available I have personally been left with £0 of benefits available to me regardless of working 40 hours and having no incoem or takings to support myself.

Thank you for reading.
