Closed petition Lower the state pension age to 65
Closed on
When you turn 66 (and in future 67) and you still have to work it is too old.
Some jobs are physical for example the building industry.
I understand the Government find it is not possible to bring the age down to 60 due to the cost, but 65 is a good age and affordable for them to do.
