Rejected petition Increase the old State Pension

Increase the Old State Pension to the same level as the New State Pension to remove the unfair differential.

More details

It is unfair for Pensioners who have paid full National Insurance Contributions to receive a substantially lower State Pension which creates a two tier system based unfairly on age.
