This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you'd like a change to the support available for self employed workers, but we're not exactly sure what you'd like that change to be. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like to happen. For example, explaining what current eligibility criteria you'd like changed.
