Additional Information

These pensioners will not be a drain on the Health Service in their later years. Neither can they claim age/disability benefits eg Attendance Allowance, PIP etc.

Discrimination should NOT be allowed to carry on affecting the income of these pensioners.

We ask that the unfair treatment of these people be addressed by the Government as a matter of urgency and give these pensioners only what they have paid into throughout their working lives.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about pensioners living abroad, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
