Closed Increase the weekly Employment Support Allowance.

Closed on

With these unprecedented times we are living in, we must ensure the welfare of all our most vulnerable citizens who are either unable to work in general or have had to apply for help from the welfare state due to being laid off.

Coronavirus doesn't discriminate - and neither should the government. The Coronavirus outbreak affects all of us - & hitting the most vulnerable in our communities hardest.
The government's shown that it understands these are unprecedented times, called upon local authorities to house all homeless people & suspended all evictions. We must seek to adjust all benefits accordingly. https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/universal-credit-increase-2020-april-how-much-dwp-benefit-eligible-2525267
