The pension should be a living wage, not a poverty trap, restoring fairness after decades of cuts and neglect.","additional_details":"The State Pension was cut in value 40 years ago and has been left to wither. Pensioners have paid taxes all their working lives, yet are denied a fair share of national wealth. Women who raised families are not recognised for their contribution. Retirement at 60 for men and women is fair and just. A living State pension should reflect national average wages and rise accordingly. Fairness, not age discrimination, must guide our pension system.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2025-08-27T10:16:18.980Z","updated_at":"2025-09-05T13:40:43.529Z","rejected_at":"2025-09-05T13:40:41.698Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-08-27T21:02:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"The following petition calls for a similar action: \r\n\r\nGive State Pension to all at 60 and increase it to equal 48hrs of Living Wage\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/728656"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
