New petition calls for State Pension age to be frozen at 66 for men and women
A new online petition is calling on the UK Government to stop the gradual increase of the official State Pension age from 66 to 68 over the coming years. It proposes that the age for official retirement be set at 66 for both men and women.
Created by Stephen Pettit and posted on the petitions-parliament website, it follows a growing number of petitions calling for changes within the State Pension. Recently this has included creating a basic weekly rate for everyone over the age of 60 to £380, increasing the basic State Pension payment from £141.85 to match the full, New State Pension rate of £185.15 per week.
All the proposals in these petitions have been dismissed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), however, calls to increase the weekly rate to £380 and lower the State Pension age back to 60 has received more than 102,000 signatures of support and could now be debated in Parliament.
