Scrap the passport fee now.0 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee Morgan

Stop singling out single carers!I’m a single carer for my disabled son. My son now being over 18yrs is now classed as a none dependent. A dependent is someone who is unable to care for themselves or live alone unsupported age does not matter or come into the equation. My status is not single as I do not live alone I have a dependent living with me. I should be classed as a single carer not a single person. I live on Universal Credit my carers Allowance is classed as a wage of £67.60 so deductible from my UC I’m paid the same as a single person? Single categorically not as I do not live alone I have a dependent! We are a silent army of carers not workers. To be classed as a carer the law states care needs to be in excess 36hrs a week to qualify most carers care 24/7. We are providing a very important role with the cuts to Adult service’s we should be valued not reduced to living on the property line. STOP this injustice help carers to keep the Carers Allowance. It should not effect any income they receive! It should be separated from carers earnings not recognised as a wage but an Allowance no longer a means tested benefit. By signing this petition you are given us the recognition we so badly need. Support all carers we need 100,000 signatures to make a difference! 🤝 We are counting on YOU ! You must know of someone who is a carer and realise what a delicate group of people they are in their local community putting others first but now we need you to support us, so please make a difference. This would have a fundamental impact on so many carers lives.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jayne Steer

STOP THE PAY CUT FOR G4S COVID WORKERSMobile testers work at the sharp end of the NHS Test and Trace service. Rain or shine, we expose ourselves to symptomatic members of the public, doing our best to curb the transmission of COVID-19. G4S's decision to reduce our pay is a cynical cost-cutting exercise. Please support our demands for a fair day's pay.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Toni Melechi

Allow parents of apprentices to continue claiming Child Benefit and Universal CreditsI contacted Universal Credit through my journal in March 2021 to say that my son had started an apprenticeship. Being an Electrician course he has to gain experience and knowledge in the workplace as he cannot do it in the classroom. It is essential for him to gain his qualification. I was told that he had been verified as a child and in full time education. I tried to clarify the situation as he was being paid. Due to my journal entries not being read for long periods I phoned. This is very stressful for me as I had emergency brain surgery following an accident and am still in recovery. They said it was a grey area. I was very surprised to hear this and wondered what I should do. I was told if he was with an approved trainer working towards a qualification I would still receive payments for him. I had a letter from his training provider to back up his situation and details of the college course. DWP refused to accept see it. After 5 months DWP say he is classed as working. He earns £4.30 an hour and has to buy his own tools as well as travelling to college where he does relevant work towards his level 3 qualification as an Electrician. In my eyes and many others he is not independent. He cannot live on the money he receives. He is dependant on me. I have been asked to pay back £1128. I see this as a major error of the DWP. I tried to clarify the situation. It is all in my journal. I have a letter from his trainer and details of the course he is doing. As an electrician, the practical side cannot be done in a classroom. Being onsite with qualified electricians is vital. This leaves me as a single parent in a very difficult situation. I cannot work due to my injury. I will lose the child element in my Universal Credits, Child Benefit and the Covid payment. I want my son to continue his apprenticeship. I believe there is a shortage of trades people. I have worked all my life, paid taxes and NI. Now I need support in getting my son through his apprenticeship. Please support me in claiming the money I need to do this. There are many families in the same situation who simply cannot afford to put their child through an apprenticeship as all benefits stop.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Grenham

Could YOU afford to lose £86 a month?Despite Brexit and COVID-19, we still live in one of the richest countries in the world. So, it is truly disgraceful that an increasing number of people are being forced to choose between paying energy bills and food. Food banks are not the solution! While they have done an enormous amount of good work feeding those who need it the most, their existence cannot be justified as long as the government is happy to spend tax payers' money on £300,000 flat refurbishments and 'vanity projects' like HS2, a project which even traditional Conservative voters don't want! Moreover, there are sufficient funds in National Insurance contributions to pay for this much-needed increase in Universal Credit. Many of those claiming Universal Credit contributed to that fund. So, why is it not being used to fund the very things National Insurance was designed to prevent?11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kerry McDaid
