Stop government increasing State Pension Age to 70 earlier by rigging reviews.
Government regularly reviews State Pension Age (SPA). The agreed approach means the proportion of adult life we spend over SPA remains constant. The target proportion was up to 33.3%. Government now wants to reduce this to 32%. This would mean increasing SPA earlier and a higher SPA for millions.
The principle of "up to one third" of adult life over State Pension Age (SPA) was announced in the 2013 Autumn Statement.
But in July the Secretary of State said "Government is minded to commit to ‘up to 32%’ as the right proportion”.
Under the original principle, SPA reaches 68 by April 2041 and 69 by April 2055. Under the new approach it would be 11 and 13 years earlier respectively and 70 by April 2056.
Rigging future reviews increases SPA for millions of people.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you mean by "rigging reviews".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You could ask the Government to keep the target proportion at 33.3%, if that's what you'd like to happen.
