Rejected petition why should new state pensioners receive more than existing state pensioners
in april 2016 a new qualified state pensioner was allocated a state pension of £155 per week whereas if you were a state pensioner pre april 2016 you were only allocated your existing state pension of £125 per week a difference of £30 per week so why should new pensioners receive more than me
More details
i find it totally unfair to treat (pre april 2016) state pensioners in this way i personally paid my national insurance full stamp for 35 years into the system and receive £35 per week less than a (post april 2016) state pensioner surely the government have created a two tier pension scheme one for (post april 2016 " the rich ") and one for ( pre april 2016 " the poor ") as far as i can see all state pensioners should receive the exact same state pension as long as they have paid in national ins contributions
