Automatic Visa Revocation Triggered by Any Evidence of Benefits Fraud

Automatic Visa Revocation Triggered by Any Evidence of Benefits Fraud — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Immediately cancel any UK visa with evidence or reasonable suspicion of benefits fraud, without a criminal conviction. Benefits fraud wastes public funds, undermines public trust, and damages confidence in the immigration system; permission to remain should be withdrawn in the public interest.

Additional details

A tenant on a settlement visa claimed she was waiting for Universal Credit, while spending the rent allowance they gave frivolously. The council failed to disclose she also received £3,200 in a discretionary payment to cover the 'late rent'. By the time I arranged direct payments and eviction proceedings, her rent arrears exceeded £6,000, now Universal Credit pays only £40/month. She claims high levels of UC due to a newborn and has student loans. The generosity of this country is being abused.
