Rejected petition Guarantee kin of key workers dying from Covid 19 are given a full pension

All politicians to guarantee that any key worker, social or health carer, who dies from Covid as part of their role, then their next of kin or dependants will receive a full immediate pension as some recompense for their selfless service.

More details

Many staff may not be in the pension scheme or have only joined recently. Many frontline GPs and consultants are out of pension scheme and putting themselves and families at risk. All frontline health workers including receptionists need to have some guarantee that they can do vital work knowing if anything happens to them their next of kin or dependants will get a full NHS or equivalent pension immediately.
