🚨 Big news for state pensioners! A new petition is stirring up change by urging the government to offer a “lump sum” payout to state pension beneficiaries. Under current rules, only a spouse or civil partner can inherit the state pension, but this movement aims to expand that to include unmarried partners, adult children, and other dependents! 🌟
The petition highlights the vital role many people play in caring for loved ones, especially those who financially support adult children with disabilities or are cared for by someone other than a spouse. The proposed changes could offer crucial support to these vulnerable groups.
To put these changes on the government’s radar, the petition needs to hit 10,000 signatures for a government response and reach 100,000 signatures to be considered in parliamentary debate. Running until February 19, 2026, it’s time to get involved and spark a change that recognises all kinds of relationships.
