Stop state sanctioned age discrimination - pay under 25s the living wage too!

Petition Details

Cameron says that the Tax credits cuts is part of a package deal, citing that the increased 'living wage' and more personal allowance for taxes helps to soften the blow of the cut.

However, under 25s are being excluded from the increase - so where is our part of the bargain?

Additional Information

I am a 22 year old mother of one who is genuinely worried for the future of myself and other young people in this country.

I feel unbelievably let down. We're excluded from the living wage while still impacted by the cuts, soon to be excluded from housing benefit, education is increasingly expensive, social housing stock is dwindling but rents are high and the housing market is nigh impossible to enter.
