This petition was rejected

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. Mothers who are not entitled to maternity allowance will now be eligible for other benefits. You can find out more here:

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