Send everyone with an NI number an annual State Pension forecast

Closed 591 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should send everyone with an NI number advising them of the date they will be allowed to claim a State Pension and how much they would get based on current and forecast NI contributions. If changes were made to entitlements by the Government people would find out within the year.
Many women born in the 1950s assumed everything their mother's received they would, as they were not advised to the contrary, but this is not the case.

With an annual forecast statement every person would have up to date information about their entitlements. Private Pensions send out yearly info - why not let the government do the same. Ensure the debacle regarding pensions for women born in the 1950s never happens again.
