We want the Government to change the legal definition of state pensions and stop defining them as a benefit because we believe they are an Annuity paid for with national insurance contributions made by the person accepting the Annuity so in effect it was a way of saving for a pension.

Stop requiring NI contributions and Pay The Full State Pension to All
We call on government to stop requiring National Insurance (NI) contributions in order to pay out state pension. We feel this is a degrading, humiliating practice. We suggest that the Full State Pension is paid to all of state pension age.
Increase New State Pension and pay to all, abolish the old Basic State Pension.
We think the government should put all our elderly onto the New State Pension, increase the New State Pension to a good percentage of average earnings and abolish the old 'Basic State Pension'.
Stop the State Pension retirement age rising to 67. Make it 65
Let people have the choice whether to retire or keep working. Many people have been working since they were 16. We think a state pension retirement age of 65 for all is ample enough
Give State Pension to all at 60 and increase it to equal 48hrs of Living Wage.
We want the Government to make the State Pension available from age 60 & increase it to equal 48hrs a week at the National Living Wage. Hence from April 2026 a Universal State Pension should be £610.08 per week or about £31,724.16 per year as a right to all including expatriates, age 60 and above.
