- 60,338 Signatures

We want the Government to restore the Winter Fuel Payment to how it was paid last winter immediately. We are concerned that pensioners could die if MPs do not act, and that the NHS could be under more pressure.

Extend Bereavement Support Payments (BSP) for widowed parents
- Final Signatures: 11,789
Sadly many people, myself included, find themselves unexpectedly widowed at a young age, often with children. The loss of an income and increased need for childcare lead to huge financial strain. We believe parents of children under school age or in education should receive the BSP for ten years.

I want the Government to commit to two key recommendations of the Work and Pensions Committee inquiry into the management of asbestos. We do not know where all the asbestos is in the country so we need a central register, and we need to make a plan for its safe removal over the next 40 years.

- Final Signatures: 16,093
I get the old State Pension which is substantially lower than the new State Pension. I want the Government to increase the basic State Pension to match the new State Pension, so everyone receives the same State Pension. It is not fair that some pensioners are treated like second class citizens.

We believe that for too long, our elderly have been portrayed by media as merely burdens on the NHS and the modern welfare state.
