Closed Increase ALL Unemployed Benefits, by the extra £20 weekly Covid-19 uplift relief

Closed on

Government to Urgently pay the £20 COVID-19 Uplift to ALL Unemployed People on state unemployment benefits

Include those 'Left Out' or NEVER received it - like 'JSA Claimants'. NOT just those on Universal Credit'

Pay A) Immediately B) with backpay & C) compensation to the unemployed left out

Please Pay Properly. Through ZERO Fault of their own, many Unemployed CLAIMANTS got & still receive 'BAD Differences' in government financial assistance' for COVID-19 Survival.

Currently Only Universal Credit claimants get the extra £20 weekly.

There is significant hardship, and Grave Mental Illness issues occurring now or in the future.

IT’S HARD TO BUDGET Unemployment Benefit, & 'Keeping COVID Safe', such as by keeping the windows open for ventilation in cold weather leads to extra costs.
