More than 32,500 people have signed an online petition calling for a ‘living’ State Pension.
The Department for Work and Pensions has dismissed proposals in an online petition calling for the State Pension to be paid to everyone in retirement at the same rate as the National Living Wage. More than 32,500 people have signed the petition in support of the proposal put forward by Joseph Coyle.
The petition proposed making changes that would see 12.6 million pensioners receive £364.70 each week - equivalent to just under £19,000 a year. “This petition suggests increasing the State Pension to equal 35 hours a week at the National Living Wage .
