Cap working age benefits at the same level as the state pension

Petition Details

Ensure that no working age individual on benefits receives a higher basic income than a pensioner living solely on the State Pension. Review benefit levels to bring them in line with the income the Government has deemed sufficient for pensioners.

Additional Information

We believe this would create a fairer system that does not disadvantage older people who rely entirely on the State Pension. Pensioners should not be placed at a financial disadvantage compared to working age benefit claimants.
