Universal Credit Petition
We the undersigned acknowledge that:
- Over 40% of Universal Credit claimants in England are already in work
- Someone earning minimum wage would have to work 9 extra hours a week to replace the £20 cut from 6th October
- 4879 households across Stratford district will lose £220 by Christmas, a massive £1,040 over 12 months
- This cut will remove over £5m from the local economy per year
We call upon Nadhim Zahawi MP to stand up for Stratford and vote against the budget on October 27th if it does not reinstate the £20 uplift for Universal Credit claimants.
