Petition Action

Reverse changes to State pensions since 2016 that are causing pensioner poverty

Petition Details

Widows, divorcees, couples and Young People are adversely affected.

Women can no longer claim from their husbands NIC record

Mixed age couples can no longer claim pension credit and will lose up to £7000 pa

Bereaved with young children much worse off financially

Additional Information

It is a stealth move and a scandal

Pension changes do not give enough time for pensioners to plan and do not inform clearly how pensioners are affected by changes
