A State Pension For Any Individual On Completion Of 40 Years N.I. Contributions
With an increased retirement age and a lifetime in work, many people will have paid around half a century of N.I. contributions into a "pension scheme" that only pays you a pension based on a maximum of 35 years. Fifteen years extra contributions with absolutely nothing in return.
"You will need 35 qualifying years on your National Insurance record to get a full new State Pension"
(source:- https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/qualifying-new-state-pension).
You wouldn't pay a cold caller on your doorstep £50 for something clearly only worth £35? Of course you wouldn't - but that's what your Government are selling you right now, and we're allowing them to do it without any questions asked. Pay the state pension on completion of 40 years contributions.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
