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'.
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.
Remove 6 year limit on paying voluntary NI Contributions to repair gap in record
Anything less than 52 weeks' worth of NI contributions results in that whole year not being counted, so you get nothing if you didn't get NI credits. Currently it is only possible to pay voluntary contributions for gaps from the last 6 years. It's unfair, and this limit should be removed.
Remove the cap on NI Contributions relief for pension salary sacrifice
Reverse proposals to charge National Insurance on salary-sacrificed pension contributions over £2000 to encourage people to save for retirement and reduce reliance on the state pension.
Stop defining state pensions as a benefit
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.
