Rejected petition The whole Universal Tax Credits System needs to be Stopped and re designed.

For those of us who have felt the affects of Universal Tax Credits or seen friends or family being affected by this will know just how bad this New system really is.

More details

Not only does the process take 8 to 12 weeks but during this time your in receipt of no income while your bills still rise.
Then your expected to pay any owed rent from any future money u have yet to receive as generally its not back dated.
The system doesn't work people are becoming homeless and hungry on a daily basis charity's working to the max and being told to keep quiet its all just to much. This needs looking into and a new system that actually works needs to be put in place
