What the petition asks
We believe that women affected by these changes were given inadequate notice of a further wait of up to six years to receive the State Pension. We believe a Public Inquiry is necessary to expose the truth.
We feel that the way in which this case has been handled has not taken into account the views of all campaigners. We believe there are other options to explore and by listening to all groups, we feel a fair and balanced resolution could have been found.
