What the petition asks
According to current law people born in January, February and March 1960 can get state pension when they reach their 66th birthday. I think people born in 1960 year from April to December are penalised as they have to wait longer to access their state pension.
I would like the Government to change the law for people born in 1960, so they can all get their state pension when they reach their 66th birthday.
I think the current law by the Department of Work and Pensions discriminate against people born in April to December in 1960.
