This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition proposed changes to have as tankard basic state pension unfair to current pensioners
More details
I would like people to sign this petition if like me they believe that it is unfair to expect current pensioners and people retiring before April 2017 to receive anything less than the goverments new proposed standard rate pension of £144 at todays value (to increase through to April 2017 or around £160 )
To be fair everyone in retirement should receive the same state pension, not some more than others
