Don’t consider bonus or overtime payments when calculating universal credit

Change the law so that people who claim universal credits & work, don't get penalised if they receive a bonus in work or if they work a small amount of overtime for a special occasion coming up i.e. a child's birthday, xmas.

1. Protect Disability Benefits: Stop Changes to PIP and Universal Credit - 2,075 signatures

We believe this affects hundreds of thousands of families in the UK especially single parents who are doing their best to work and juggle parenting. If someone got a £300 bonus in work in most cases their UC would be reduced by 65% of the net payment. We think a change is needed to allow for these bonuses to not effect their usual monthly payments.
