Closed petition Do not class the State Pension as a Benefit
Closed on
I feel that the State Pension is not a benefit but a payment you receive back that you have paid into since you started working.
I think it feels degrading that you have reached Pension age and are being classed as receiving a Benefit. We paid into this system to ensure we received money when we retired.
