Reduce the State Pension age to 63

Closed 203 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to reduce the State Pension age to 63, for men and women.
We believe the State Pension age is too high, and it keeps increasing. People have worked hard all their life and they need some time to start enjoying it, whilst they still have good health to do so. But not everyone has great health or is able to work and we believe this isn't given enough consideration. If people want to work past the age of 63 then that should be their decision.
