Pensioners to receive automatic pension credit, without the need to apply for it
Currently in the UK, there is 1 million pensioners who are not getting a full pension, because the government does not care, in full.
Please automatically provide pensioners with Pension Credit. Would appreciate in certain, if you top us up automatically.
The reason why people are not receiving, is lack of knowledge. This is not an excuse not to care for the elderly.
Pension Credit tops up:
• your weekly income to £201.05 if you’re single
• your joint weekly income to £306.85 if you have a partner
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 are concerned about people missing out on Pension Credit, but it's not clear how the Government could pay Pension Credit automatically, as entitlement to Pension Credit depends on an individual's financial circumstances, which the Government may not have full details of before an application is made.
The Government is undertaking public awareness activities to encourage pensioners to check eligibility for Pension Credit, so people don't miss out on this benefit: www.gov.uk/government/news/government-minister-urges-pensioners-to-check-eligibility-for-pension-credit-as-week-of-action-kicks-off
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
