Closed petition Raise the Universal Credit allowance for over 18s to match people aged 25 & over
Closed on
Raise the standard universal credit allowance from £342.72 to £409.89 for everyone (not in a couple) over 18.
When people turn 18 they are adults and they often move out of their parents’ house and with that lower rate they can't support themselves, so I request the government to raise universal credit for all over 18s to the same as over 25s.
