Rejected petition Increase the old age pension in line with the minimum wage.

Old age pension is not enough to live on. And totally out of line with benefits paid out to other sections of the community, some of which have never made any contributions.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling for the state pension to be set at the same level as the minimum wage, if that's what you would like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
