It will be easier than dealing with the enormous amount of sickness claims that will be submitted.","additional_details":"I would like the government to pay anyone who applies a Universal Basic Income at a rate of £95.85 per week (same as Statutory Sick Pay starting 6th April). Payments should start as quickly as possible and be classed as income for tax & income-related benefit purposes. If the trial goes well then it could be expanded to replace all income-related benefits and eventually to all UK citizens instead of being stopped.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2020-03-16T01:27:54.601Z","updated_at":"2020-03-16T16:58:18.709Z","rejected_at":"2020-03-16T16:58:18.712Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2020-03-16T02:21:14.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302284\r\n\r\nYou can find out more about coronavirus and how you can protect yourself and others here:\r\n\r\nNHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/\r\n\r\nUK Government website: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
