Rejected petition Increase the UK state pension to a livable amount

The UK has the lowest pension amount than other western European countries.

The UK government sets the amount deemed suitable for people to live off which is currently £168.90 per week.

In Spain, Germany and France the pension rates are much higher.

Help to make this change for our elderly.
