Closed petition Include existing pensioners in the proposed single flat rate pension

Closed on 21 November 2012

The Government should change its mind about excluding existing pensioners from the proposed new single falt rate pension. If there is not enough money in the coffers to cover all pensioners, then a different plan should be sort rather than introducing a two-tier system in which the oldest and most vulnerable members of society would be left out - people who not only paid into the pot all of their working lives, but whose income in real terms has already shrunk.
