Closed petition Reduce the state pension age to 60 to better support the elderly
Closed on
The current state pension age is between 66 and 68, but the Government should look to reduce this to 60. The Government should be doing more to protect elderly people from needing to work and to help them pay their bills.
If action is not taken many elderly people could face significant financial hardship.
