Terminally ill can claim state pension up until death before pensionable age

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

After Death Nominated Beneficaries recieve a % lump sump from the monies left in the pension pot
For example :- a £100,000 pot with 4 named Benefiaries each would recieve £25,000 Tax Free

In my case I would nominate my two Daughter's as Beneficiaries aged 25 & 21 this payment would go a long way to enable them to get a mortgage and on the Property ladder, which in turn would give the housing Market a boost

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: Allow people with a terminal illness to claim state pension early

The state pension gives people an entitlement to a weekly payment once they reach state pension age. Individuals do not have a personal "pension pot", which could be distributed to inheritors.
