Stop differentiating between under/over 25s for Universal Credit
I think that Universal Credit should not have a lower rate for under 25s. I think this puts under 25s at a disadvantage and is discrimination based on age.
People under 25, including single parents, get less Universal Credit because of one sole reason: their age. I believe this is unjustified because I don't think one can accurately predict a difference in expenses caused by a person's age. I think that similar circumstance should equal similar allowance, and regardless that this is about the principle of Equal Rights.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
