Give those employed / self-employed temporary access to their pension
The government should allow people temporary access to a percentage of their pensions in order to get through the Coronavirus outbreak. This would particularly support doctors, teachers, lawyers etc.
Amid the Coronavirus outbreak, in order to support those where job seekers allowance is low in comparison to their income, the government should provide people temporary access to their pension where they can withdraw a percentage of their pension in order to support the decreased income in this time. Older workers will be more affected by the outbreak as they may need to take more time off work. It should be payed back within the next 10 years
