Ensure annual pension increase apply to all pensioners living abroad
We want the Government to ensure that pensioners get an annual increase if they live abroad in certain countries. Currently some people do not receive increases even if they have worked 50 years in the UK prior to retiring abroad.
Annual increase should rise by the same amount for both Old & New State Pension
I would like the annual state pension increase to be the same amount for both the Old and New State Pension, based on the triple lock.
Replace Public Sector Pension schemes with a defined contribution scheme 4%/6%
Set up a defined contribution (DC) scheme for all public sector staff along the same lines as most private sector schemes (usually 4% staff & 6% employer contributions - staff can contribute more).
Give pensioners access to PIP, as they are currently excluded from pension age
We ask the UK Government to allow pensioners to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP). People over State Pension age cannot make new PIP claims and must use Attendance Allowance, which we believe gives less support and no mobility component. Allowing PIP could provide fairer, needs-based support
Pension age and civil service retirement disparity
A civil servant responsible for raising the state pension age to 67 is retiring at 61 with substantial pension benefits. The post criticises the perceived inconsistency in retirement policies.
