The recent budget has announced taxes on advanced payments and a decrease in mileage allowances. We believe this is unfair to the most vulnerable in society and could affect their independence.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,186 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Currently, a paying parent can reduce their CMS payments by adding a partner’s child as a “relevant child,” even if that child is not biologically theirs and already receives support from their own parent. We want the Government to review this process.
Introduce a benefits payment card that can be used for essentials only
- 1,491 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,013 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)
To ensure that welfare money is being spent on essentials to help those in need, introduce a payment card that can only be used for things like food, clothes, school supplies etc. We are concerned that the tax-payer could be funding non-essential items for those who rely on the state for support.
