Raise the basic pension in-line with the minimum hourly rate.
You say that £9-50 is the minimum hourly rate, ie £380 a week, yet pensioners are living on half this money a week. £190 app.
Pensioners are living below your own agreed minimum wage. It’s about time pensions were brought in line with other euro countries who pay there pensioners at least twice the amount received in the UK…
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:
Increase State Pensions to £400 a week and fund free adult social care for all: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/584971
Increase the state pension by £5,000 a year: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/595241
