Make housing benefit compulsory for students
Students rights are being infringed upon why is it OK to have your rent paid if you sit on benefits but not if you want to make progress and go into higher education
Other students all over the country are suffering with the same issue the evidence can be provided by university for how many students have to drop out because there benefits in full are removed even though the evidence shows they could not possibly cover living expenses whilst studying full time
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 UK 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 making Housing Benefit "compulsory". Students may be able to claim Housing Benefit in some circumstances, so we're not sure what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
You can find out more about eligibility for Housing Benefit, including for students, here:

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