Child Benefit should be the same regardless of when the child was born
If you had your first child before April 2017 you get £20.70 per week, if you did not you get £13.70. Isnt this completely unfair to all those who have had one child after this date?
Why not make it all children now get £13.70 regardless of when born or all first borns still get £20.70 per week
I feel this unfair, how is it that just because my child was born May 2017 i now dont get £20.70 yet those born April 2017 do. I feel all children should now be on £13.70 for the sake of fairness. Fairness to all those future children and families. If £13.70 is to be the normal first child payment, make it normal for all families across the UK.
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.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what you mean by "If £13.70 is to be the normal first child payment, make it normal for all families across the UK".
The payment for a first child is £20.70. The payment for a second child is £13.70. We're therefore not sure what action you want the UK Government or Parliament to take. You can find out more about child benefit rates here:

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