Minimum State Pension should equal the National Minimum Wage for under 18s.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 25 June 2026

The National Living Wage age for 21+ is now £23,132 (35 hour week; 52 week year). Even the National Minimum Wage for under 18's is £14,560 (same basis). My full New State Pension is only £12,564 after working for a lifetime. I believe for 65+ a minimum UK standard of living is £14,500 and the State Pension should match this. The full New State Pension lags well behind those in Europe (UK only 13th of 28). Even an apprentice, or under 18 worker, is now legislated to earn a salary of at least £14,560. For 18 to 20 year old workers this National Minimum Wage equates to £19,747 per annum. For those who have worked and paid NI and taxes all their lives, we believe a full State Pension of £12,564 is just not fair and equitable and the State Pension should be at least the £14,500 necessary for a minimum standard of living for retirees.

Lower the State Pension age to free up jobs for young adults

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 28 May 2026

Lower the State Pension age for workers so young adults that don't currently work have more chance of getting a job. The longer people are having to work the fewer jobs there are out there for young adults. If the Government lowered the State Pension age we believe it could encourage retirement so that employers might take on a young adult to fill the space – that would help young people get jobs and also help the older generation that have done their bit for society and get to enjoy the last few years of their life.

Provide lifelong vet care and financial support for retired service animals

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 11 May 2026

We want the UK Government to create a national support scheme to provide lifelong veterinary care and financial assistance for retired service animals, including police dogs, military dogs, and police horses. Service animals protect the public and support the emergency services and armed forces. Many retire with injuries or health conditions linked to their service. Ongoing care costs often fall to former handlers, adopters, or charities. We want a national support scheme or pension to help fund lifelong veterinary care and welfare support for retired service animals.

Introduce same pension age for ambulance workers as for Police and Firefighters

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 22 February 2026

Lower the pension age for ambulance service workers under the NHS scheme to 60, in line with the Police and Firefighters. Ambulance staff have the stresses and face the same dangers as police and fire fighters. They do not have the privilege of lower pension ages despite being front line workers. We believe it is the duty of Parliamentarians to bring ALL emergency service staff in line regarding pensions and pay more widely. We rely on all of these people in times of accident, major incidents and all manner of health and urgent needs.
