Require all state pensions to be paid monthly

What the petition asks

I want all state pensions to be paid monthly instead of every four weeks.
We believe it would be much easier for people to manage their money if pensions were paid monthly. When people retire, their bills may come in monthly, whilst pensions are paid every 4 weeks. This can create a discrepancy that many people find difficult to manage.
