Bring Back Immediately State Pension at 60 for Women

Signed the epetition on 38 Degrees to Reverse the State Pension Law and added my own epetition on 38 Degrees, but this time addressed direct to the top and adding various items.

BRING BACK IMMEDIATELY STATE PENSION FOR WOMEN AT 60
TO: PRIME MINISTER CAMERON AND DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER CLEGG

My epetition does not seek for women to have to retire from current employment or from seeking future jobs, to gain their entitlement payment of state pension.

What is sought is that those women who reach 60 in 2013, 2014 or 2015 lose not one more pound of their rightful money. Also requested in the epetition is that women at 60 gain the age related tax allowance and to end the projected idea of taxing the state pension at source.

Further information why this epetition is important is under the epetition heading.

Amongst the half million public sector posts being lost by 2015, will be a lot of women in their 50s on low income. Since 2008 the unemployment rate of the over 50s has risen fully 50%. Most of the women in their 50s unemployed now are long term sick or disabled. In 2013 many of the disabled will lose those benefits and the long term sick will now only have that benefit for 12 months and then nothing.

Many women in their 50s have little savings or pension to fall back on. So losing the state pension means women have lost around £38,000 between 60 and 66 in entitlement money, which would have been a great help with energy bills soaring as winter bites.

The charitable Food Banks in England have had a 100% in applicants this year, for emergency food donations to those left penniless.
