Employees own their State Pensions so Government can't describe it as a benefit
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The employer and employee have contributed to the State Pension so it belongs to the employee NOT the Government and therefore can't be called a Benefit and the government should not withhold payment to the employee. This would be deemed a criminal offence if attempted by any other party!
Please refer to the plight of the ladies born in the 1950's. Our Plight - our fight - our Right - you won't wear our resolve down!
Why it was rejected
