The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government to take a specific action.
Your petition title refers to reforming Universal Credit but your petition goes on to talk about business loans, which have nothing to do with Universal Credit.
We could accept a petition calling for changes to Universal Credit, such as the permanent abolition of the minimum income floor, but it would need to be clear exactly what changes you want to be made to Universal Credit. We have published the following related petition, which you might like to sign:
Extend the suspension of the Universal Credit Minimum Income Floor: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552461
We could also accept a petition calling on the Government to create a new system of business grants and educational support, but it would need to be clear what support you wanted to be provided, and to whom.
