Remove requirement to make joint claims for Universal Credit during Covid-19

Petition Details

Until people whose work has been affected by Covid-19 can go back to work and able to earn sufficient income they should be able to claim Universal Credit as a single claimant, even if they have a partner who has an income.

Additional Information

Many people whose work has been affected by Covid-19 cannot access Universal Credit because a partner/spouse is still employed and earning more than the threshold for eligibility.

It is unfair that these people have to rely on their partner for basic sustenance while forced to stay home and unable to work remotely.
