Rejected petition The new pension should apply to all pensioners not only those born after 04/1951

For men born before April 1951 they are not entitled to the new maximum pension of £155 per week. They only are entitled to a maximum of £115 per week. Similar rules apply to women born before or after April 1953. And yet the cost of living is the same for all.
