An online petition calling for a minimum weekly State Pension payment of £380 for all men and women over the age of 60 was recently rejected by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

However, the DWP recently responded to the petition, created by Michael Thompson, saying that the UK Government “has no plans to increase State Pension to £380 per week or reduce State Pension age to 60 ” but that hasn’t put people off showing their support for the suggestion.
