- 11,030 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,033 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
The DWP Green Paper Pathways to Work proposes what we think are devastating cuts to disability benefits. We think the Government must drop these proposals and instead begin a process of co-production with disabled peoples representative organisations to create a whole government disability strategy.

- 4,141 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 7,317 - 92 added in the past 24hrs)
You can switch banks in a week and send money instantly, so why should pension transfers take months and be so stressful? Only the government has the power to change this, so we’re asking them to take action and set clear, enforceable standards for faster, electronic pension transfers.
Implement measures to reduce child poverty
- 2,319 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,364 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
It’s not OK that almost a third of UK children (4.5 million) live in poverty. I want the Government to:
-Lift 620,000 children from absolute poverty by removing the 2-child limit and the benefit cap
-Increase child-related benefits in line with inflation or average earnings (whichever is higher)
Introduce Statutory Menstrual Leave For People With Fibroids and PCOS
- 1,520 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,853 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to introduce statutory paid menstrual leave of up to 3 days per month for people with fibroids and PCOS, similar to Portugal’s model. We believe leave should come with strong workplace protections, be confidential and require a single annual medical certificate.

- 1,668 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,671 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Leave the state pension qualifying age as it stands at 67, for those born prior to 1977 and have planned their retirement accordingly.
Allow State Pension to be passed to children, long-term partners, and dependents
- 764 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,311 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We ask the Government to change State Pension inheritance rules so that individuals can nominate a beneficiary such as their child, long-term cohabiting partner, or carer – or offer them a lump sum – so it is not just a spouse or civil partner inheriting from the pension as at present.
Allow elderly disabled people to claim the state pension early
- 1,143 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,154 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We think that any disabled person aged 60 who has been unemployed for at least 5 years should be given the choice to retire and claim the state pension immediately.
Reform the way PIP assessments are conducted for deaf people
- 596 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 629 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We think PIP claims for deaf people should be assessed through the form, with no telephone or face to face consultations.
Require child maintenance payments to increase by inflation & review enforcement
- 117 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 610 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
We call the Government to review and look into reforming Child Maintenance Service (CMS). We believe the current payment system does not reflect the true cost of raising children, especially in the current cost of living crisis.
