stop punishing the unemployed for gaining education to improve the job prospects
I feel it is wrong that the unemployed get their benefits stopped if they go into full time education, to improve their chances of gaining employment.
A friend is currently studying in college and has had their benefits stopped even though at this time they are only doing part time hours in college, the unemployed have no incentive to retrain as they get punished for doing so.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling for people in full time employment to be entitled to benefits.
