We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make state pension payments on fixed dates each month
The Government should pay state pensions on fixed dates every month to make it much easier for pensioners to budget, control their expenditure, and set up Direct Debits and standing orders.
More details
Standardising state pension payments could help millions of pensioners, some of whom may need assistance in managing their budgets, to control the traffic of their budgets, and make paying bills less stressful and complicated. A fixed monthly payment date will mean regulating expenses will not be hit-and-miss, and should give greater security and peace of mind to many who might worry about their accounts holding sufficient funds, month to month, and being able to meet their financial commitments.
