What the petition asks
We want the Government to reverse plans to increase the age at which people become eligible for the State Pension, first to 67, then to 68. We believe the State Pension age should remain 66.
The planned increase was based on life expectancy increases, but in Scotland life expectancy has decreased and in the rest of the UK has not gone up as expected.
