Petition Action

Change the earning Caps for Child Benefit to make it fair.

Petition Details

Under the current system it is TOTALLY unfair that a family where one person with an income of more than £50,000 will not be eligible for full child benefit, whilst another family with both parents working and earning £45,000 each (£90,000 in total) still receive FULL child benefit.

Additional Information

It is completely unfair that a single income family that makes ends meet has to pay back thousands in tax for Child Benefit when another Family can be earning almost more than double as a single household and still receive 100% of their child benefit. It puts single income families & family’s with one higher and much lower earner at a massive disadvantage
