Increase the old State Pension
Rejected
9 signatures
What the petition asks
Increase the Old State Pension to the same level as the New State Pension to remove the unfair differential.
It is unfair for Pensioners who have paid full National Insurance Contributions to receive a substantially lower State Pension which creates a two tier system based unfairly on age.
