Reinstate the pension age of 65 to all paying tax and NI for 25yrs or more

Closed 358 signatures

What the petition asks

Changes in legislation have led to the age at which Old Age Pension is received has risen above 65 years. Old Age Pension is something that all working people have contributed to directly through National Insurance contributions and tax, taken at source from company pay. It is not a benefit!
