Closed Increase the Old Age Pension NOW and for ALL Pensioners

Closed on

The Government recognizes that British Pensions are amongst the lowest in the Western World. It intends to increase the current weekly pension to a reasonable level sometime in the future but only to new claimants NOT to existing Pensioners. This is a National disgrace and an insult to those who have paid their contributions throughout their working lives. The increase must be NOW and to All Pensioners.
