Closed petition To pay social security benefits in cash/BACS, not as a cash card

Closed on

The unemployed and sick have been disproportionately stigmatised, A "Cash Card" would not change this and would also remove individual choice. It also infantilises grown adults. I would like the government to drop this absurd bill and leave the status quo.
