This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

We understand you're concerned about state pension rates for women born after April 1948 and before April 1950, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

There used to be a higher personal tax allowance for people aged over 65, but as the basic rate personal tax allowance has increased, these age-related allowances have been withdrawn. Details of these policy changes are set out in this paper by the House of Commons Library:

researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN06158

We're also we're not aware of a policy which entitles women born after April 1950 to a higher state pension, so we're not sure exactly what you want the Government or Parliament to do.

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