Rejected petition Child benefit entitlement to per household rather than individual income

Would like you to change child benefit (which everyone is entitled too) to reflect on a household income rather than an individuals income. Right now you are penalised if you earn over 50,000. Yet two parents can earn up 99,999 annual income of 49,99 each and be fully entitled to child benefit.

More details

Like above some/alot of households will be earning more than others together who are penalised.
