Reduce the state pension age for women due to menopause symptoms

Closed 81 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to consider the physical effects of the menopause and reduce the age at which women can get their state pension.
I have always wanted equality for all sexes/people whatever gender. However, the menopause can have dramatic effects upon a woman’s health which is well documented. I think it is too much to ask the menopausal woman to work until she is 67.
