Abolish the basic State Pension, increase the new State Pension and pay to all.

Abolish the basic State Pension, increase the new State Pension and pay to all. — 5,892 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

We think the government should abolish the 'basic State Pension', put all our elderly onto the new State Pension, and increase the new State Pension to a good percentage of average earnings.

Additional details

We believe those on the basic Pension should be paid the difference accrued between the basic and new State Pension since the new State Pension's introduction. Britain's basic State Pension is currently £169.50 per week. Britain's New State Pension is currently £221.20 a week. Britain's average weekly earnings (AWE) were estimated at £693 in August 2024.
