Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The civil service and employees of the House of Commons are part of the public sector. We are unclear which increases to pensionable age you are referring to. Eligibility for the state pension is not dependent on your previous employers. Different occuptation pensions within the public sector have different rules for when benfits can be accessed. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background

The working public sector are continually having retirement goal posts moved without fair justification, in millions of cases after paying in more that needed for a state pension only to have the goal post moved and paying into the system even longer.

If it is that important to extend retirement ages again, then the public sector should adorn the same rules; Be in this together.
