Rejected petition Universal credit should be increased following the rate of inflation

As the rate of inflation has gone up benefits should follow this pattern. We think a scheme should be created for people to go to their local council for support with benefits/universal credit.

More details

Everyone has been effected by inflation (some more than others).There is not much equality. Poverty is often ignored in the UK and many people are not aware of how incredibly bad it is. It's unfair how people should have to choose between feeding their family or paying their house bills.
