What the petition asks

Remove income tax from pensions, annuities and savings for those over the State Pension Age.
Pensioners have paid income tax and NI for decades and need their pensions and savings to pay for their care. We believe that their thrift in saving and investing is, currently, unfairly taxed when considering that the State support, through pension credits, housing and council tax benefit, those that don't have adequate savings or pensions.
