Petition Details

Raise the UK state pension to match the UK minimum wage

The UK national pension is not enough to live on!

Additional Information

Some pensioners have had their private pensions stolen or badly invested and others could just not afford to pay for a private pension

Either way the majority have paid into the state pension as National Insurance contributions

When we reach retirement and claim the basic pension it is only worth approximately £6981 per annum and by the governments calculations the minimum a person needs to live on is £16325 which is the minimum living wage

Raise the state pension to match the minimum wage!
