SENIORS PETITION

This is important to anybody who hopes, one day to become a senior citizen.

Millions of UK senior citizens & over 50s are living in poverty, because their pensions are not enough to house them, heat them, feed them and clothe them, let alone provide a little leisure spending.

This is a problem we will all face sooner or later if we are lucky. Help us now to put pressure on the government to provide a pension for senior citizens that will allow them to live in the comfort that their years of hard work and payment of taxes gives them the right to expect.

To read a newspaper article on the subject click here.

You can help this and future generations of senior citizens by signing the petition to the Prime Minister asking for a just pension for senior citizens.

To sign the petition follow the lin

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/TheUKinEurope/

     Your petition reads:

     We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Increase
     state pensions to £250 a week for all UK single pensioners.

     Increase State Pensions to £250 a week for all UK single
     pensioners, with a relevant increase for couples, this is
     easily affordable by abolishing the excessivelly costly means
     test system this is demeaning and intrusive to the elderly.
     Plus the government are sitting on an NI "surplus" of 40
     billion, which is expected to increase to 74.1 billion by 2012.
     We also request that the Prime Minister abolishes Council Tax,
     because all British pensioners have spent their entire working
     lives paying income tax, and N.I. contributions into the
     system.

     Thanks for submitting your petition

We are sure that the subjects such as the UK old age pension will be a topic of interest to our contributors and our readers along with other issues that are important to the over 50s and those of us in the retirement community. Retirement can have benefits but, as you will be well aware, it comes with its own set of problems. On this over 50s forum we will be discussing these along with all aspects of retirement and seniors lifestyle. Our aim is to provide a vehicle for enjoyment and mental stimulation. Enjoy!
