Petition Increase benefits to the average cost of living for all UC claims

Being on benefits especially the new Universal Credit is now making financial problems for people on benefits.
By March 2023 everyone will be claiming universal credit. The cost of living is massively higher than benefits MOST people receive.
UC should be evened out whether you are 25 or not.

It should not make a difference how old you are, there are a lot of families out there younger than 25 and the gap between the monthly payments are quite large vary age.
