Don’t increase the retirement age for 49-55 year olds to 68 years old. — 14 signatures. Status: rejected.
There has been minimal publicity about the government plans to now increase the retirement age for 49 to 55 year olds from 67 to 68 years old. It isn’t fair to keep saueezing working people to pay for a non means tested triple lock pension for people who were allowed to retire far younger.
49 - 55 year olds have spent years planning for retirement based on a state retirement age of 67. There has been minimal publicity about the government plans to increase state pension age for 49-55 year olds to 68. This is inequitable and unrealistic - working people have faced real income pay cuts since the financial crash. The triple lock pension should be means tested to protect pensioners who genuinely need help - why should the government squander billions giving millionaires a triple lock?
