Petition stop pensioner tax

More details

Stop Penalising Pensioners
Single Pensioners who either live alone or have been widowed should not have half the tax allowance that they would have as a couple.

Single elderly people are being driven into poverty.

I propose that the allowance be raised for those of State Pension Age who are living alone, it should be the same as a couples allowance.

Stop pensioner poverty.
