Rejected petition Change the universal Credit system it's not right...

I waited a week after my last payment from work (paid weekly) any money I earned that last period was taken off the next months benefit. I have had no rent or money for 8 weeks. there are thousands of people at risk because of this shoddy system with more holes in than a cheese!

More details

Just look up universal credit complaints on Google and Facebook it's shocking! We will have food stamps next! Putting people in debts. it scares me to take a job because any money gets taken off the following months benefits. I thought you were supposed to help people not ruin them?.!
