Why was this petition rejected?

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

As we said in our email, we can’t accept your petition as petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what changes you’d like the Government or Parliament to make to the benefits system.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
