Rejected petition Cost of Living

More details

I am finding the cost of living very hard to deal with. I was 60 in January and can't draw my pension until November. Everything is going up and those on fixed incomes like myself are finding it very difficult. I would like the government to give us some leeway on taxation otherwise there will be no money to spend on the high street and we could end up having a double dip recession.
