What the petition asks
The Government should move the state pension age back to 60 for men and women. People should not have to wait until their mid to late 60s to claim the state pension.
Many people have worked from a young age, and their health deteriorates long before they are able to claim the state pension. The Government should not be able to move the state pension back when people have had a reasonable expectation of retiring at 60.
