What the petition asks
We would like the state pension age to be reduced to 61 years old, so people at that age can get their State Pension if they want to.
It can be difficult for people aged 61 and over to find work. Many people aged 61 and over develop health problems and may have difficulties working but not be considered disabled! The death rate age is decreasing etc. The state pension age used to be 60!
