Petition Benefit Freeze is Cruel, Unfair and Unconstitutional

More details

The Government's Benefit Freeze proposed from next year is, I submit, Cruel, Unfair and Unconstitutional.

True Inflation for the Poor is in reality between ten and fifteen percent, so after three years of just one percent increase in Benefits, is likely to mean one third (thirty three percent) loss of income in real terms for all Jobseekers and Single Parent Mums and Dads.

TO THE GOVERNMENT: Do not Freeze or Cap Benefit Entitlements for the Poor.
