Rejected petition Stop the cuts to the bereaved parents allowance

In a few days time, the new cuts to the bereaved parents allowance will mean that working parents will be deprived of £12,000 each. New benefits will not automatically rise in line with inflation either. This will be especially difficult with parents who rely on one source of income.
