You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you want to see changes to the state pension, but we're not sure exactly what changes. Your petition calls for the state pension to be aligned with the National Living Wage, but this is an hourly rate of pay (with different wages for different age groups), whereas the state pension is a weekly amount.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
