Support retired people that are losing their investment income.

Closed 70 signatures

What the petition asks

Offer financial support to those missing out on investment income, similar to the furlough and self-employed income support schemes.
People that rely on dividend income to live on are being impacted just as much as the employed and self employed.
Government/PRA/BOE are the cause of a lot of dividends now being stopped. Government are the only ones that can do something to help and have a scheme in place to help those whose retirement income has been devastated as a consequence of the pandemic. Subsequent governments have completely ignored the plight of savers in favour of supporting those with debt and supporting the housing market.
