DWP urged to reverse new Universal Credit rules for parents with young children due to start this Autumn
A new online petition is calling on the UK Government to reverse an upcoming Universal Credit rule change that will affect parents of young children. The Department for Work and Pensions introduced changes to the frequency of appointments with work coaches for parents of children aged one and two-years-old last month and is set to implement further changes in the Autumn for those with children up to the age of 12.
However, petition creator Maggie Gordon-Walker, has said that the change should “not be introduced” adding that it “disregards children's needs and penalises lone parents” as they may be sanctioned for failing to meet their Universal Credit work commitment agreement. DWP estimates the Autumn change will support over 700,000 people who have the main responsibility of looking after their children.
