Petition Action

Change the way UC help toward childcare and council tax support for single mums.

Petition Details

Change the way you currently pay childcare cost if you receive an element of UC, pay it directly to the provider at the time they require payment to secure places to save parents taking out payday loans while they wait for 80% to be reimbursed a month later it would save a lot of debt and stress.

Additional Information

Such simple changes could relive working parents of a lot of stress, for the people without the family support around them it often feels extremely hard to find a balance. The way contributions to childcare are paid on UC does not work well for millions, also UC take away council tax supper if your property isn’t band A yet the same property & parents with a higher income qualify for the support under the tax credits system.

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 understand that you want the Government to change how elements of Universal Credit work, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like to be made to Universal Credit in respect of council tax.

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