Closed Guarantee 100% Pension Transfer to Surviving Spouses

Closed on

We call upon the Government to enact legislation that guarantees surviving spouses receive 100% of their deceased partner’s pension—whether state, occupational, or private—without any reduction, delay, or discretionary limitations.

This petition is not just about money—it’s about dignity, fairness, and the recognition of lifelong partnerships. When a person dies, their spouse should not be left to struggle financially. They should be supported by the pension their partner worked hard to earn.
We call on Parliament to act swiftly and decisively to ensure that surviving spouses receive 100% of their loved one’s pension. Let us build a system that honours the contributions of the deceased and protects the living.
