The 'Offer the State Pension to all at 60, increase to equal 48hrs at the Living Wage' petition has been posted on the petitions-parliament website and has received almost 58,000 signatures
A campaign that calls for £549 weekly state pension payments for everyone over 60 has attracted nearly 58,000 signatures.
If the petition's demands are met, pensioners and those over 60 could be pocketing an eye-watering £28,554.24 annually. The state pension was increased by 8.5% from April 8, with retirees on the full new state pension now getting £221.20 a week, totalling £11,502 a year. It goes on to demand: "Hence from April 2024 a universal state Pension should be £549.12 per week or £28,554.24 per year as a right to all, age 60 and above." The petition is making waves, stating: "Government policy seems intent on the state pension being a benefit, while increasing the age of entitlement. We want reforms so the state pension is available from age 60, and linked to the National Living Wage.
