Reform Carer’s Allowance rules so carers can earn more without losing support
- 5,263 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,374 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
Many unpaid carers balance demanding caring responsibilities with the need to remain financially secure. We believe the current limit allowable for carers to earn is set way too low. It makes it difficult for carers to work, take on a second job, or rent out property to supplement their income.
Cap income used to calculate Child Maintenance to Minimum Wage over a 40hr week
- 1,635 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,735 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the UK Government to introduce a fair and sustainable cap on the income figure used to calculate CMS payments. We propose that the maximum weekly income considered for CMS assessments be limited to the equivalent of the National Minimum Wage multiplied by a 40-hour working week.
Motability to maintain higher mileage options for disabled people
- 1,563 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,584 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Require Motability to maintain higher mileage options for disabled people who need to travel more than 30,000 miles in three years and not to proceed with the changes planned for 1 July. We believe these changes will risk restricting access to work, healthcare and essential independence.
Reduce child maintenance, exclude overtime & introduce no contact, no payment
- 952 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 965 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the government to review and reduce child maintenance rates, stop including overtime in calculations, and halt payments when contact is denied or contact does not exist, especially if there is a new parental figure.
Link tax threshold increases for pensioners to the triple lock for pensions
- 148 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 164 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
We are concerned that the triple lock rise in UK State Pensions could pull those with a small pension into paying tax. We believe that if the triple lock was to rise by, for example, £400 above the tax threshold, that the tax threshold for pensioners should rise by £400.
Make students studying less than 35 hours a week eligible for carers allowance
- 163 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 163 - 0 added in the past 24hrs)
The DWP states that anybody in “full time” education, even if they only attend classes 2-3 days a week, is not eligible to receive carer's allowance. We believe this is unsustainable. Anyone attending classes for less than 35 hours a week (equivalent to a full-time job) should be eligible.
Stop the governments plan to cut the disability element of Universal credit.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 142 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
The government plan to cut the "Health Element" of Universal Credit (LCWRA) in half for new applicants. Claimants who already receive LWCRA will have their allowance increased from £423.27 to £429.80 a month. However, from April 6th 2026, new applicants will only receive £217.26 per month.
Ban the use of paye umbrella companies

Ban the use of paye umbrella companies for all workers as we think it is a scam on British people.
Review eligibility for one bedroom-rate LHA for those under 35 leaving prison
- 110 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 116 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that the shared accommodation rate for Local Housing Allowance is too low and can create an immediate barrier to finding safe and stable accommodation for many people under 35 years old who are unlikely to qualify for the one bedroom-rate, especially those newly released from prison.
Veterans to keep benefit entitlement when in receipt of medical compensation
- 96 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 98 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I would like the Government to change the rules on benefits for veterans so that they continue to be entitled to benefits regardless of any medical compensation they receive from the MoD, for example for loss of hearing or other disability.
