Do not class the State Pension as a Benefit

Petition Details

I feel that the State Pension is not a benefit but a payment you receive back that you have paid into since you started working.

Additional Information

I think it feels degrading that you have reached Pension age and are being classed as receiving a Benefit. We paid into this system to ensure we received money when we retired.


If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
