Stop all Universal Credit Reviews and Bank Statement requests

Petition Details

We believe it is an invasion of privacy to have to provide several months of bank statements and other documents to obtain Universal Credit. We think that if a benefit claimant is breaking the law, this should be charged as an offence and proven in court.

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.
