Petition ESA claimants to receive same increase as Universal Credit

The Government should match the £20 uplift of Universal Credit, and any future lump sum payments, for people on Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).

More details

People on other benefits e.g. ESA should not be forgotten or brushed to one side under the carpet. We are in the same boat regardless of what benefits we receive.
