Petition Upgrade the basic state pension to the new state pension for all.

The current pension scheme has left anyone born before 5 April 1951 behind. This means thousands of people are £38.40 per week down resulting in thousands of pounds lost for people. The government considered changing it for all retired people but, as it didnt make news, it's been forgotten about.

More details

There are many pensioners who cannot afford to live and are being robbed of money that, if they were born a few months later, would be part of their weekly income. These people have worked all their lives and should be intitled to the same as their younger friends.
