Keep working tax and child tax credits for working families

Petition Details

Stop change in moving over current working tax and child tax claimants to Universal Credit. Many working parents will receive lower or no benefits because of their savings.

Additional Information

If claimants have managed to save some money after years of claiming tax credits they may now lose their benefits when they migrate to Universal Credit due to rules about capital savings. Universal Credit is means tested, and savings can impact the amount you receive. This will put people into the position of having to use their savings to live or sell their assets before they can receive the full amount of UC, We believe this is unfair and might put people into poverty.
