Rejected petition Raise civil servants pension age in line with the state retirement age

In the light of the report that states the permanent secretary of Work and Pensions, who raised the state retirement age, is to retire at 61 we want ALL civil servants to have their pension age raised in line with the rest of the population.

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.

A new scheme for civil servant pensions was introduced on 1 April 2015. Under this scheme, civil servants will have a normal pension age which is linked to their state pension age. We're therefore not sure what further action you want the UK Government or Parliament to take.

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