Petition Income support for full time students.
More details
Income support should be available to anybody of any age and whether or not they are employed if they are taking part in full time education.
I believe it would be beneficial for not only today’s society but for the government to allow full time students over the age of 20 to claim income support if in full time education. This way they can receive much needed education while being able to support them and would eventually be more capable of gaining a job. In the long run this would heavily reduce the amount of persons claiming job seekers allowance as the government wishes.
