Remove Universal Credit's 'Minimum Income Floor' for the self-employed.

Petition Details

I want Parliament and the Government to address the flaws within Universal Credit such as the Minimum Income Floor and to address the impact this is having on the self-employed.

Additional Information

Nearly a sixth of the UK’s workforce is self-employed. The Minimum Income Floor continues to punish the self-employed who have fluctuating monthly income and runs completely contrary to the Government’s own stated aims of ‘making work pay’ under UC.

The self-employed may be thousands of pounds worse-off each year under Universal Credit compared to employees outside of UC who are making similar amounts.

This is not fair. This is discriminatory. Please address this before more damage is done.
